ASSOCIATED EVENT: Creatures of Habitat After hours of data input, matching post-it notes with numbered icons, Judith, along with volunteers Wendy, Kimia & others, have almost completed transferring the data. Although some post-it notes still need to be matched with numbered icons, a few post-it notes have no numbers, only obscure place-references, and many icons are not numbered, & may have actually been misplaced during the map transferring process.

SeaChange will be attending the Sidney Rotary Club meeting to discuss the findings of the Saanich Inlet and Peninsula Atlas of Shorelines and the community mapping work SeaChange has undertaken. See you then Rotary!
