SUMMARY:Future Geographies: Art in the Century of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:As the environmental crisis accelerates\, artists around the world are responding with urgency\, insight and vision. Future Geographies: Art in the Century of Climate Change is the first major exhibition in Canada to examine the intersection of the climate crisis and contemporary art on a global scale. \nFeaturing works from the past 25 years\, this exhibition underscores the urgency and relevance of sustainability and the environment as defining issues of our time. More than 35 works across a range of media—from large-scale video installations to living sculptures—invite viewers to confront pressing questions about our shared future on this planet. \nPresented across multiple floors\, Future Geographies includes a newly commissioned work by Jeffrey Gibson and marks the first time several artists are exhibiting in Vancouver\, including Teresita Fernández\, Josh Kline\, Cannupa Hanska Luger\, Jean Shin and Clarissa Tossin. The exhibition also features major works by BC–based artists such as Brian Jungen\, Gabrielle L’Hirondelle Hill and Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun Lets’lo:tseltun\, connecting global issues with local specificity. Together\, the works in this exhibition invite dialogue and create space for imagining. \nIn conjunction with the exhibition\, the Vancouver Art Gallery is partnering with the University of British Columbia Climate Action Lab to create unique platforms for cross disciplinary dialogue. After its presentation at the Vancouver Art Gallery\, Future Geographies will travel to the Art Gallery of Ontario. \nFuture Geographies will continue on the Gallery’s 4th Floor with the immersive installation SANCTUARY: The Ancient Forest Experience\, by Dr. T’uy’t’tanat Cease Wyss\, Damien Gillis and Olivier Leroux\, and a presentation of cedar works by local artists\, curated by Dr. Wyss. Find out more » \nA public artwork by Cannupa Hanska Luger will be featured on a billboard on 1611 E Hastings Street (near Commercial Drive) and is a collaboration with Capture Photography Festival. Find out more » \nThe Gallery has partnered with Canada’s National Observer to present Future Geographies online\, extending the exhibition to audiences worldwide.

SUMMARY:UVic's Politics\, Policy and Climate Action Micro-Certificate

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:AN EVENING OF MUSIC AND LAUGHTER
DESCRIPTION:A Pay What You Want Community Concert\nwith award-winning singer/songwriter Amy Bishop\n\nAmy Bishop’s voice is a combination of smooth pavement and rough gravel\, with the ability to charm listeners with her sweet tones; yet stun audiences with the ability to hit any high note.\n\nHailing from Calgary\, Amy began her music career around campfires\, at block parties\, and in church choir. Knowing a career in music is no guarantee\, Amy decided to practice other trades\, but her passion for music prevailed\, leading her to collaborations with Moby and opening for April Wine\, Farmer’s Daughter\, and Chris Cummings. Amy has an instinctive ability to craft stories into song and deliver them with sincerity and passion\, all qualities that make her an undeniable Canadian talent.\n\n​ \nAmy “wowed” Canada with her appearance on CTV “The Launch” in 2018. This opened up industry doors as she was quickly signed by both a booking agency and management company.  In March 2019 Amy performed at the prestigious Canadian Screen Awards in Toronto. \n​

SUMMARY:Arno Kopecky - Mark Carney and the Climate Crisis: What Went Wrong?
DESCRIPTION:ArtSpring 7:30PM Saturday\nSeptember 26th\n\nTickets available HERE\n\nCan we take meaningful action on climate change without damaging our economy? \nPrime Minister Mark Carney’s current policies seem to represent a major pivot from his earlier\, pre-political concerns about climate change. While he previously championed strict regulations\, carbon taxes\, and mandated phase-outs globally\, his government’s new strategy—outlined in his “Forward Guidance” framework—deliberately prioritizes economic affordability\, national unity\, and energy expansion. \nFor more than two decades\, journalist and author Arno Kopecky has examined the difficult trade-offs that define our relationship with nature.  Kopecky has travelled the globe reporting from the front lines of environmental change\, asking uncomfortable questions about conservation\, climate change\, Indigenous rights\, and energy. Rather than offering easy answers\, he challenges us to think more deeply about what it really means to live sustainably. \nArno Kopecky is an award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in The Globe and Mail\, Maclean’s\, The Guardian\, The Narwhal\, The Tyee\, and many other publications.  In June\, he won a 2026 National Magazine Award for\, “A Son\, a Scientist\, and the Secret of Bioluminescence” published in The Walrus.  His acclaimed books\, The Environmentalist’s Dilemma (ECW Press\, 2021\, available at Salt Spring Books) and The Oil Man and the Sea (Douglas & McIntyre\, 2013) blend vivid storytelling\, investigative reporting and personal experience to explore some of today’s urgent environmental debates. \nPlease join the Salt Spring Forum in welcoming Arno Kopecky for the 2nd annual Derek Lundy Memorial Event\, where we will discuss the complex political and ethical dilemmas raised by a global ecological crisis. \nTickets are also available HERE for Joanna Cheek\, ‘Mental Health for Us All’.  ArtSpring 3:00 Sunday October 18. \nPlease visit the Forum website to preview and purchase tickets for our upcoming events.\nThe Salt Spring Forum is grateful for the sponsorship provided by Ganges Village Marketplace and Island Savings and for the continued support of Harbour House Hotel\, Auntie Pesto’s\, Harbour Air and Salt Spring Books.

SUMMARY:Repair Cafe West Shore and Holiday Decor Swap and Shop
DESCRIPTION:What do you do with a broken toaster or a sweater full of moth holes? Toss it? No way!

We also ask that you make sure your item(s) are wiped down/cleaned before requesting a repair (we don’t want our repair heroes needing to clean out dirty vacuums before they can try to repair them for you). \nGot the tools and some time?\nIf you’re a Handy Superhero like our mascot Reggie the Wrench Guy\, we’d love to have you join our righteous repair quest. Repair Cafe ReImagine West Shore could use more handy volunteers and we’re looking for local residents with different skills who can serve as repair experts during our Repair Cafe meetings. Check out our Call to Handyfolk and let us know if you can lend us a hand at an upcoming Repair Cafe! \nHoliday Decor Swap and Shop\nThis Repair Cafe is paired with a Holiday Decor Swap and Shop where folks can bring their Fall and Winter holiday decorations that are clean and still in good working order\, and looking for new homes. Folks can drop-off their donations at Gordon United Church ahead of the Swap and Shop from Wednesday to Friday\, September 23-25\, from 10am to 2:30pm.

SUMMARY:Book Launch & Discussion "Listening Once Again to Our Great Mother: The Fairy Creek Blockades and the Life Story of Pacheedaht Elder Bill Jones."
DESCRIPTION:Join Elder Bill Jones\, spiritual leader of the Rainforest Flying Squad and the Old-Growth Forest Protectors\, and co-author Karen Moe for the launch of their book Listening Once Again to Our Great Mother: The Fairy Creek Blockades and the Life Story of Pacheedaht Elder Bill Jones (Dundurn Press\, 2026) followed by a discussion and book-signing on September 24th\, 2026 at the University of Victoria’s “First People House”\, Campus Ring Road\, Bldg #230\, 1:30-4:30 pm. \n* \n“With the masterful insight and skill of Karen Moe\, Elder Bill Jones breaks our hearts open with his deeply personal expose of the ongoing trauma inflicted on Indigenous people and their beautiful ancestral forests by colonial capitalism in Canada.”\n-Suzanne Simard author of When the Forest Breathes. \n“The teachings of Elder Bill are inspirational. This is myth\, legend\, theology and philosophy. It is the essential teaching for our time.”\n-Elizabeth May\, O.C.\, M.P \n* \n“I was lost before I was born”: the starting point of Pacheedaht Elder Bill Jones’ lifelong journey of decolonization. “You were all Indigenous once”: the starting point for ending a world based on exploitation and greed. \nAt Port Renfrew\, British Columbia\, in 2020\, both settlers and First Nations experienced a re-indigenization and became reacquainted with our Great Mother during the fight to save some of the last remaining old growth forest at the Fairy Creek Blockades. As Elder Bill sat in a tent during a West Coast storm at the height of the protests\, he experienced the final phase of his personal decolonization\, his absolute re-indigenization\, when he realized: “I know what happened!”\, a revelation that has informed his life ever since. \nCombining the story of Elder Bill’s personal life and ancestors\, elder wisdom\, settler feminism\, and the inspirational story of the Fairy Creek Blockades — the largest act of civil disobedience in Canada — Listening Once Again to Our Great Mother is wisdom weaving to motivate those towards their own self-awakening\, even after Elder Bill is gone.
