Heat Pump Estimates

Thank you to all who reached out for a heat pump quote from 360 Comfort Systems.  Our sales rep has been over a few times already and is coming over again this Sunday, July 10 (probably for the last time) to do a few more quotes.  

We have contacted everyone who has expressed interest, but some people have not responded to messages left on their voice mail.  If you are still wanting an estimate, we have a couple spots left on Sunday for anyone interested.  

Please contact me before Saturday noon if you would like our salesman to drop by - my email is:  shelley.wolovick@360supertechs.ca

ThINC - Reminder of Today's Special Nature House Events

11:00 - 1:00 pm: Nature Mask Making with Mila Fesnoux at the Nature House (all ages)
Coming to our 10th Anniversary party? You may have noticed nature costumes are encouraged! We will make a variety of animal and plant masks on Friday with expert crafter Mila Fesnoux! All ages are welcome to join us for this activity, and if you aren’t joining us at the party, you are still welcome to come make a mask! If you have a cereal box handy please bring it for your mask, otherwise we will have some available.
Note: If you have one, please bring a cereal box to the mask making event!

2:00 - 4:00 pm: Junior Biologists - Birdiful at the Nature House (kids 8-12) 
This week we will heighten our bird identification skills using sight and sound, then use these skills to play bird bingo! We will also learn about flight by observing wing shape and length closely, and draw or paint our favorite bird, and take a look at an active nest in the pollinator garden! 

*For both events, please park at Heneage House (the first big building at The Portal) or at Fairyslipper Forest.
