A big hay čxʷ q̓ə to all the community members who
attended our “Just Because Potluck”!
Loretta, myself, and a few others decided that it is important for our Community
Members to gather for a meal once in a while just because — for no reason.
We think it’s a good idea, as it seems we only gather when we have a loss or for
sad events. Therefore we wanted to simply enjoy a meal together, just because.
We had 26 community members come out to enjoy a lovely meal.
hay čxʷ q̓ə once again!
Love, Merle
COMMUNITY UPDATE June 7, 2018
The Small Business grant Program will be offered in September 2018. Invitations to apply will be available at the end of June 2018.
The progam is directed towards those individuals or companies wanting to start or already have an existing business and to take advantage of a $7,500 Port Fund Grant.
However some components of the program will be of interest to individuals wanting to gain an understanding of marketing techniques and also basic accounting and business knowledge.
Accordingly these workshops will be made available to all TFN members with no obligation to enroll in the grant program.
Watch out for more details to be released towards the end of June.

DID YOU KNOW... Mosquitoes have survived
in their present form,
presumably with similar
behavior, for more than
100 Million Years?
Page 1 of 3
Avoiding Mosquito Bites There are several things each of us can do to limit or avoid being bi en by mosquitoes including:
Wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants Using insect repellents as described on the CDC poster Eradica ng/preven ng mosquito rearing habitat Using mosquito ne ng around beds Installing screens in widows and around porches/decks Hos ng mosquito-ea ng predators on your property

If you have any ques ons or concerns about the work we are doing to manage mosquitoes on TFN Lands please give me a call.
Nicci Bergunder, Project Manager 604.802.9537
Insect RepellentRegistered repellents
Icaridin (Picaridin), DEET, lemon-eucalyptus
oil (p-Menthane-3, 8 diol) and soybean oil are
registered insect repellents in Canada. Each
protects you from mosquitoes and ticks for
different amounts of time.
What about other products?
Citronella Oil remains on the market although
there is a lack of safety data to support
continued registration. Citronella products
protect from 30 min -2 hours, may have
limited reapplication and should not be used
on infants and toddlers.
For Ticks: Both DEET and Icaridin repel
mosquitoes and ticks with better protection
in stronger solutions of product. Hats, long
sleeved shirts and pants will also provide
protection.
Sunscreen and Repellents
• You can use both sunscreen and insect
repellent when you are outdoors–apply
sunscreen first, followed by repellent.
• Sunscreen should be applied frequently
while insect repellents should be used in small
amounts when needed.
Myths about mosquito repellents
Myth: Citronella Oil is safer than DEET
Truth: There has recently been some concern
about its safety when used on skin. Also,
citronella oil is not as effective as DEET or
lemon eucalyptus oil.
Myth: DEET kills insects
Truth: DEET doesn’t kill insects, it just makes
you less attractive to them.

The BC PlantWise Program Invasive Plants recognized globally as the second greatest threat to biodiversity! Invasive plants have unique characteris cs that other plants lack, allowing them to out-compete na ve vegeta on and cause environmental and economic harm. PlantWise is a provincial program that supports the (ornamental) hor culture industry's transi on to become invasive-free, and is helping gardeners and industry understand which plants are inva-sive and harmful to our communi es, and to make 'PlantWise' choices. To achieve these goals, the Invasive Species Council of BC works collabora vely with plant growers, retailers, specifiers, and landscapers across BC. For more informa on visit the ISCBC website or give Nicci a call: h p://bcinvasivesmonth.com/news-events/2018-photo-contest
Join the movement to be invasive-free across BC and help us protect our province from the impacts of invasive plants through hor culture! Here are some things you can do to make a measurable difference in your community:
Select non-invasive plants Use the Grow Me Instead booklet to help you choose only non-invasive plants— free copies are available from Nicci and online at h ps://bcinvasives.ca/documents/GMI-Booklet_2013_WEB.pdf
Select the right plant for the right place Be suspicious of exo c plants, bulbs and seeds promoted as 'fast spreaders,” “vigorous self-seeders” and/or “drought resistant.” Invasive plants o en have the very characteris cs we seek the most in plants.
Be aware of ALERT species These plants are either present in BC in very small numbers or have not yet made it into BC. Refer to the “Alert” Species list.
Check reliable resources Before choosing a plant to grow, check to see if it's invasive on the ISCBC website, Great Plant Picks, the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Opera ons, or contact your local nursery or regional invasive species commi ee.
Use wildflower seed mixes with cau on Impor ng seeds individually and in mixtures is one of the primary pathways of introduc on of invasive plants to BC, and a cri cal pathway to target for preven on. When selec ng seed mix-tures (bird seed, wildflower mixes, ornamentals, re-vegeta on mixes), always make sure the seed mix clearly lists the ingredients, as many contain invasive plants. Or, consider crea ng your own seed mixes to be sure of the seed ingredients.

Invasive plant control There are many ways to manage and eradicate invasive plants, and it's best to choose a species-appropriate control method since invasive plants are opportunis c and aggressively out-compete other species. Check for any underlying condi ons such as bare or compact soil that may lead to spread. Take measures to keep your soils healthy and replace invasive plants with a diverse range of non-invasive alterna ves that will a ract and increase wildlife biodiversity while balancing out the ecology of your site.
Disposal of invasive plants In general, make sure you do not let your invasive plants go to seed. Be sure to first clip off all ma-ture flower and seed heads. Add these and other plant parts to a double black plas c bag. Add bags to your garbage - DO NOT COMPOST.
Encourage others to be PlantWise Reach out to local plant suppliers, landscapers and landscape architects, gardening and steward-ship event organizers and clubs, social media and blogs, neighbours, and family and friends - edu-cate them about PlantWise - encourage others to use only non-invasive plants and promote healthy, non-invasive gardens.
For assistance and more informa on on seed mixes, plant selec on, and the appropriate man-agement and disposal of invasive plants contact Nicci Bergunder at 604.802.9537

The teasel we see at TFN is a cul var known as Fuller’s Teasel that was used in tex le pro-cessing, providing a natural comb for cleaning, aligning and raising the nap on fabrics, par cu-larly wool. The product of the teasing process is called teased wool. Most recently it has been a favorite of lower mainland gardeners.
Teasels are easily iden fied with their prickly stem and leaves, and the inflorescence of pur-ple, dark pink or lavender flowers that form a head on the end of the stem(s).
Teasel is considered an invasive species in Cana-da. Le unchecked, it will form a monoculture, capable of crowding out all na ve plant species, and therefore is discouraged and/or eliminated within restored open lands and other conserva-
on areas. Mechanical and chemical control methods are most successfully u lized for con-trol of this species once it has spread beyond a few plants.
