The Ladysmith Maritime Society is excited to be partnering with Telegraph Harbour Marina and the Thetis Island Nature Conservancy!

Telegraph Harbour Marina

Telegraph Harbour Marina (THM) is a beautiful little marina tucked in a cove at Thetis Island. Just a short ferry ride from Chemainus and walking distance from the Thetis Island Ferry Terminal, the marina is the new home of the Ladysmith Maritime Society (LMS) Sea Life Centre!

With a cafe, gift shop, playground, and picnic tables with barbeques, why not drop by THM with your family for a day in the sun? If your a boater, there’s visitor moorage available (but book early, as it’s a popular destination).

While you’re there, stop in at our newly reopened Sea Life Centre, complete with a touch tank and sea life enthusiasts ready to answer all your questions. Then stroll the marina, view a real sea lion skeleton on display, and get a closeup look at two of LMS’s restored wooden boats, the Saravan and Kirkegaard at their new slips at the marina.

Thetis Island Nature Conservancy

Thetis Island Nature Conservancy (ThINC) is a registered charity located on Thetis Island. ThINC provides nature education, conservation and stewardship of natural ecosystems, and promotion of community food security.

LMS is thrilled to have ThINC stewarding our SeaLife Education Centre at THM. One of their knowledgeable summer students is on hand during the summer months to answer your questions, and you may even run into famed marine biologist and author, Andy Lamb, who makes his home on Thetis Island.
