SUMMARY:Love to Sing!!!!!! The Victoria Arion Male Choir Invitation to January 2026 Open Houses
DESCRIPTION:The Victoria Arion Male Choir: Tradition and Community \nAbout the Choir\nThe Victoria Arion Male Choir represents one of the newest additions to the vibrant choral scene in Victoria\, BC. Formed in the summer of 2018\, the choir is the result of the union between two long-standing ensembles: the Arion Male Voice Choir\, established in 1892\, and the Victoria Male Voice Choir\, founded in 1907. Both groups recognized the opportunity to better pursue their vision of creating “a community of men singing for health and joy” by coming together as one. This merger has proven to be a dynamic and successful venture\, yielding positive results both musically and organizationally. \nOur Mission\nThe choir is dedicated to sustaining the rich tradition of male-voice choral music. Each year\, members share their passion for music through a minimum of two public concerts\, as well as performances at seniors’ residences\, the Victoria Remembrance Day ceremony\, and other community events. In support of music education\, the Victoria Arion Male Choir offers a choral scholarship program\, inviting up to four student musicians annually to join and perform with the group. New members are always welcome to experience the camaraderie and joy of choral singing. \nLeadership\nUnder the direction of Musical Director Sean Lampard-Quicke\, who joined the choir in 2020\, and the accompaniment of collaborative pianist Jennifer Mitchell\, a member since 2019\, the choir continues to thrive and evolve. \nMembership and Rehearsals\nThe Victoria Arion Male Choir is actively seeking new singers for its non-audition choir\, beginning in January 2026. Open houses will be held on Mondays\, January 5th\, 12th\, and 19th; rehearsals start at 7:00 p.m. each Monday.  at Cordova Bay United Church\, located at 813 Claremont Ave. The choir performs four-part harmony\, with a diverse repertoire that includes classical\, spiritual\, folk\, and contemporary selections. Additionally\, the choir welcomes applications for its choral scholar program. \nFor those interested in joining as a new member or learning more about the choral scholar program\, please contact Jim Johnson at jimmysj@shaw.ca or visit the choir’s website at www.vamc.ca. \n

SUMMARY:New Forest Act Roadshow Event
DESCRIPTION:oin us for a big event!  Elders for Ancient Trees is excited to partner with Broad View United Church to sponsor the Victoria leg of the New Forest Act Roadshow. \nThe June tour includes events in 11 communities (Golden\, Nelson\, Trail\, 100 Mile House\, Campbell River\, Quadra Island\, Courtenay\, Port Alberni\, Honeymoon Bay\, Powell River\, and Victoria). \nThis is a rare opportunity to consider and discuss a forestry regime that can serve forests and local communities. \nLed by Jennifer Houghton\, whose  videos we have featured in earlier Callouts\, the event will be a focused presentation on the New Forest Act—a legislative proposal to replace British Columbia’s current forestry system. \nThis is a critical time to imagine and explore transformative change for precious forests. \nHere are a couple of Jennifer’s videos:You Can’t Export What You Don’t Have: The Reason BC’s Forestry Strategy Is Already Failing and The Forestry Jobs Myth: How Destruction Gets Sold as Work \nJennifer’s down-to-earth and focused style will make some hard hits about what’s actually happening in BC’s forests\, why the current system no longer works\, what critical changes are needed and how the New Forest Act would work in practice. Grounded in three key principles based on a 3-zone approach\, the NFA would: \n\nProtect what must remain intact (old growth\, primary\, untouched by humans)\nRestore what has been degraded\nHarvest where ecosystems can support it\n\nFor full details on the legislative framework: New Forest Act BC Proposal\nWe look forward to a big community engagement on June 22. Join us and bring your friends!
