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:Cornucopia: An Autumnal Musical Feast (Canada)
DESCRIPTION:An opportunity to hear bassoon and horn\, in the rarely heard roles as solo instruments and featuring internationally renowned local musicians Katrina Russell and Andrew Clark. \nAs befits the season\, we have organized the concert around the theme of an autumnal feast\, reflecting the plenty of the harvest season in a tumbling profusion of wonderful music from the 17th and 18th centuries. \nEMSI’s resident ensemble\, Island Temperament\, under the keen direction of violinist Paul Luchkow\, will provide the table setting for serving up the musical banquet. \nAndrew Clark’s background includes many years of performing with top orchestras in and around the UK\, including principal positions with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment\, London Classical Players and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. \nAs a soloist he has recorded for EMI\, Hyperion\, Archiv\, Linn and Redshift labels\, including the premieres of the Sonata da Caccia by Thomas Adès (1998) and the Concertino for horn and string orchestra by Stephen Chatman (2020); horn concertos by Vivaldi and Crusell; and chamber works by Mozart\, Beethoven\, Brahms and Czerny. \nHis specialisation in performing on historical instruments has led to many interesting engagements\, highlights of which include:\n• Playing all of Bach’s works with a horn part\, most of which can be heard on recordings with Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir (Challenge Classics)\n• Using a Vienna horn to perform the four Brahms Symphonies with both Sir Roger Norrington and London Classical Players (recorded for EMI) and Sir Charles Mackerras and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra (recorded for Telarc)\n• Sixteen seasons at Glyndebourne Festival Opera\, including runs of Handel: Giulio Cesare\, Mozart: Cosi fan Tutte\, Don Giovanni\, Idomeneo\, Magic Flute\, Figaro\, Beethoven: Fidelio\n• A live broadcast on BBC radio of the concert aria Pieta di Me by Haydn which contains the highest notes written for the horn in classical repertoire\, performed with the Hanover Band\, conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras \nAs a specialist in historical performance\, Katrina Russell has played and recorded with many of the premier period instrument ensembles in the UK and Europe\, including The English Concert\, The King’s Consort\, The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment\, The Academy of Ancient Music\, The Hanover Band\, The Gabrieli Consort and Players\, L’Orchestre de la Champs Elysees\, The Orchestra of “The Sixteen”\, and The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra\, amongst others. \nAs a member of many of these groups Katrina has toured widely\, appearing at many leading festivals around the world including Perth (Australia)\, Aix-en-Provence\, Salzburg\, Mostly Mozart (Lincoln Center\, New York)\, and the BBC Proms. She has also performed with The London Chamber Orchestra\, and in North America with New York Philomusica\, the Vancouver Symphony\, Victoria Symphony and the Vancouver Island Symphony. \nKatrina and Andrew Clark) relocated to the West Coast in late 2010 and established themselves near Ladysmith where they have a speciality instrument making workshop producing horns and trumpets.

SUMMARY:GRIEF HOPE CARE Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Across Canada and globally\, climate change is increasingly being recognized as a psychological and emotional issue\, in addition to an environmental one. Studies show that many people\, particularly youth and emerging adults\, are experiencing a range of emotional responses to climate change\, including anxiety\, grief\, fear\, uncertainty\, and despair.\n\nIn the first half of 2026 a collaboration of UVic faculty\, counsellors\, artists\, musicians and researchers met with student participants to process climate grief issues through group discussion\, spoken word and art creation. This project “Building Community Resilience through Collective Reflections on Climate Crisis” explored such questions as: in what ways do creative and embodied practices support emotional processing and resilience in the face of grief and uncertainty? and how can climate grief reflection events cultivate relationality\, resilience\, solidarity\, and shared learning across diverse participants?\n\nThe three events were audio and video recorded\, interpreted and transposed to music\, then produced as a unique three-part short film and research support piece. They are designed to invite reflection\, raise questions\, and create space for dialogue about climate grief and the emotional dimensions of climate change. A facilitated discussion will follow the screening and free refreshments will be provided.\n\nIf you’re interested in where climate crisis and expression can intersect\, please join us for this compelling screening and discussion.\n\nThe Building Community Resilience through Collective Reflections on Climate Crisis Team Breanna Lawrence\, Jeff Smith\, Shemine Gulamhusein\, Sabrina Guzman Skotnitsky\, Daniel Cook\, Sam Tallo\, Jessica Detta\, Pavel Vlasov\, May Lin and Ridhee Gupta\n\nUniversity of Victoria\nFaculty of Education

SUMMARY:The Story Collection: Stories from the Threshold
DESCRIPTION:This fall\, The Story Collection returns with stories about death\, dying\, and the thresholds we cross along the way. Inspired by themes woven through our feature exhibition\, Ancient Egypt: Obsessed with Life\, which examines ancient Egyptian funerary practices and beliefs about the afterlife\, this evening brings together community storytellers to share real\, personal stories connected to death and dying in all their forms. \nSome stories might be about sitting with someone as they died. Others might explore the rituals and traditions that different cultures carry around death and remembrance. And some might be about a quieter kind of dying\, the moments when an old version of yourself quietly falls away\, making room for something new to grow in its place. \nAs with every Story Collection event\, these are true stories\, told live\, by the people who lived them. Come ready to laugh\, cry\, and sit with the many ways we make sense of endings. \nURL:\nTickets: https://go.evvnt.com/3842309-0?pid=10320 \nDate and Time: On Tuesday October 20\, 2026 at 19:00 – 21:00 \nVenue details: Royal BC Museum\, 675 Belleville Street\, Victoria\, British Columbia\, V8W 9W2\, Canada \nCategory: Community \nPrice:\nGeneral Admission: CAD 20.00 \nArtists / Speakers: Seán Krow \, Mo Dawson\, John Rockford\, Keira Ash

SUMMARY:Biodiversity Walk at Roberts Bank
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 18th\, 2026 at 9:30am (Pacific Time) in Delta for a biodiversity walk to learn about the wildlife near Roberts Bank. \nIt’s been an exhausting few months between pipeline announcements and environmental protection rollbacks. We want to offer this land-based learning experience to reconnect with nature and community\, and help ground people in the real places we’re trying to protect. Making new connections with your community members is fun\, too! \nThis biodiversity walk will be near the likely future site of Roberts Bank Terminal 2 and the new West Coast Pipeline\, two projects that GSA is actively fighting against to protect the Salish Sea. \nWe’ll be there to talk about these projects\, while an experienced birder from Delta Naturalists Society will lead the walk\, so bring your binoculars\, cameras\, and bird-ID books! \nIf you want to reconnect with nature\, find fresh motivation and inspiration during these troubling times\, and learn how to protect the Salish Sea from marine mammal and bird advocates\, we can’t wait to see you there! \nEvent Details: \nWe will meet in Delta at 9:30 am at 3306 Tsawwassen Drive North. The biodiversity walk is expected to last 2 – 3 hours\, depending on weather conditions and tides. Afterwards\, there is an open invitation for everyone to meet at the Douglas J. Husband Discovery Centre in Ladner for the “Welcoming Back the Birds” event held by the City of Delta\, where Delta Naturalists Society has a display table. This will be a chance to celebrate the birds returning to Delta with themed activities for all the family\, bird films\, and nature booths from 1:30pm – 4pm.

SUMMARY:Sacred Soundscape
DESCRIPTION:A sound journey with Rev_T (Thomas DeSchutter)\nLife can get loud. Sometimes the most useful thing we can do is stop\, lie down\, and let something else carry us for a while.\nSacred Soundscape II is 60 minutes of deep release. Gongs\, crystal singing bowls\, chimes\, and tuning forks fill the room\, and there’s nothing you need to do\, fix\, or figure out.\nYou just rest\, and let the sound move through what the mind has been holding onto. Many people leave feeling quieter\, more settled\, and more at home in their own body. You don’t have to have done this before. You just have to show up. \nWhat to bring\nA yoga mat\, pillow\, and blanket\, plus something to support your knees. An eye cover and water are also helpful. Bring whatever helps you feel comfortable lying down for an hour.\nPlease arrive 15–30 minutes early. Doors close at 2:00 so the space stays undisturbed once we begin. Parking is available on site.\nAll sales are final\, but tickets are fully transferable. If you can’t make it\, pass yours on to someone who could use an hour of stillness.\nGet advance tickets at https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/sacred-soundscape-ii-crystal-sound-bowls-and-meditation

SUMMARY:Climate Looming
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join Atelier Aloera\, Seniors for Climate\, and Suzuki Elders in this intergenerational paper quilt-weaving workshop (weaving\, hence looming…) where our climate perspectives are joined together in unified hope. \n​Hosted by Wild Bird Trust BC\, we will start with science-based communication about protection and restoration initiatives our team is working on\, then open up the floor to imagining futures that could come from collective efforts through scrapbooking. The final product will be a co-created “quillt”\, a piece of artwork with embedded climate intentions and curiosities. \n​Be part of this meaningful intergenerational dialogue! Admission is free and we encourage you to bring friends from all walks of life! Coffee\, tea\, hot water\, and some light snacks and fruit will be provided.
