Things to do: Summer with FOCI

The Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI) have a full slate of events this summer. 

They started July with a tour of the off-grid agricultural oasis, Blue Jay Farm, followed by a low tide exploration of the natural and local history of Mansons Lagoon.

“They’ve gone really well, and we have these other six events coming up,” explained to Helen Hall, Executive Director of FOCI.

“It’s going to be a great summer. I think these activities are a great way for people to discover the island and learn about the natural environment. We get a mix of people. These are really nice outings for locals, as well as for people visiting the island,” said Hall. 

“We are encouraging people to do is book early because the events are  really popular. Email us at friendsofcortes@gmail.com or phone us at (250) 935-0087 to book your spot.”
