Let’s Get Together
2025 Meetings
All meetings are at St. Edmund’s
From 2pm to 4pm.
Meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of the month.
The meetings begin at 2 pm (doors open at 1:30pm)
There is no meeting in December, but we hold a potluck on Christmas Bird Count Sunday.
There are no meetings in July and August, but we enjoy at least one picnic at Rathtrevor Park.
We respectfully acknowledge that we are meeting within the unceded traditional territories of the Snaw-naw-as people and the Qualicum First Nation, the traditional keepers of these lands.
Today, many First Nations and Métis peoples continue to live, work and play here as do we. We intend to nurture better understanding and pursue opportunities for collaboration with our First Nations neighbours.
Arrowsmith Naturalists Members Meeting
Thursday February March 27th 2025
2pm-4pm doors open at 1:30
Black swifts are rare and mysterious birds. They fly high in our skies, nest behind waterfalls, and migrate long distances.
Paul Levesque has been studying these birds for many years and has researched much of what we know about them at this point.
He will share his knowledge with us at our upcoming meeting on March 27th, from 2 – 4 p.m. at St.Edmund’s Church Hall in Parksville.
We look forward to seeing you there, and feel free to bring a friend. Non-members are always welcome. And don’t forget, coffee and munchies are free!
