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.

DESCRIPTION:Victoria’s history has been shaped by our island location. Shipping\, ship-building\, and all kinds of boats were central to life in early Victoria. This Labour Day weekend\, celebrate classic boats in the Inner Harbour and then hear “salty tales” in the cemetery! Coastal steamers\, luxury yachts and racing yachts\, tugboats\, RCN war ships and patrol vessels\, and car ferries—and the people who built\, owned\, and sailed them—will all be featured on this new OCS team tour\, which will end at the Naval Memorial. The tour will include the grave of W.H. Langley\, original owner of SV Dorothy—Canada’s oldest sailboat still actively sailing\, now part of the collection of the Maritime Museum of BC and a highlight of this year’s Classic Boat Festival.

SUMMARY:Nature's Ink Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Do you have old\, stained clothes that you don’t wear anymore? Stains don’t need to spell the end of a garment’s useful life; instead\, they’re an opportunity to add flair to your wardrobe! You can rescue clothes from the landfill and give them a stylish twist at Nature’s Ink\, a textile transformation workshop at the Sooke Region Museum. \nInstructor Chantel Traub is a Calgary-based textile artist currently undertaking a residency at Studio H Canada in Metchosin. Her practice is rooted in nature\, exploring links between art and ecosystems. \nShe’ll bring carbon-negative algae ink and her large collection of hand-cut lino blocks depicting native plants and animals. All you need are pieces of clothing that have small stains to cover or just need an added “flash tattoo”! \nAlternatively\, if you’d rather explore paper media\, Chantel will also provide high-quality cardstock to create hand-stamped cards. \nDrop in at the museum’s events pavilion or pre-register online. \nThis workshop is presented in collaboration with Studio H Canada International Artist Residency located in Metchosin\, BC\, where Chantel Traub is currently an Artist in Residence.

Share yours with us and let’s bask in the liberating imagination of our city! \n\n\nSign Up Opens at 6:30 before the event . No advanced online sign up for July 2026 event. \nDoors: 6pm\, Event: 7pm – 10pm\nCo hosts: TBA and Wes Carroll \nAll proceeds go to Common Horizon\, Victoria chapter\, * who are building a mass movement of everyday people. They aim to take power away from the billionaire class and win solutions to the climate crisis that secure good jobs and address affordability. This summer they are pushing for an excess profits tax on oil and gas companies. \nCommie Bop is now offered through South Island Worker’s Cultural Education League! Check out our Choir\, Outdoor Club\, Worker’s Cafe\, Book Club\, and Soccer Team. \nAbout Commie Bop: A Commie Bop is freedom in motion: a song\, a poem\, a spell\, a skit\, a dance against the grind of colonial capitalism. It’s where creativity smashes exploitation\, where solidarity squeezes alienation\, and where we (yes\, we\, the ridiculous and unruly) celebrate our collective fire. This is a space to howl anti-capitalist anthems\, share art that bites back\, and honour past and future generations. Leftist debates? Vital. But tonight we revel in the kaleidoscope of our movement\, checking our purity test kits at the door with our hearts open to each other’s stories. We have license to be silly little peasants! Think Carnival\, mocking lords and kings… \nOpen Mic Sets: Your offering does NOT need to involve a complex analysis – our day-to-day experiences put us into the crosshairs of capitalism’s contradictions. Sets should be 10 minutes or less. Please explain why you chose or wrote what you’re sharing. Performers are encouraged to make space for audience participation – teach us your chorus\, wrangle us into your skit\, add call and response\, or bring up Alice to play the tambourine or the triangle. \nAll acts should\, in their own unique way\, call for an end to exploitation and discrimination. This space celebrates dignity. Check lyrics for oppressive and triggering language (racist\, sexist\, ableist\, SWERFS\, TERFS\, etc.). We fight systems\, not each other. Please respect the venue. \n*Every month a different not-for-profit co-hosts and benefits from funds raised. Follow us on Instagram for monthly update.

SUMMARY:Saxe Point Park regeneration
DESCRIPTION:Come and have fun helping to remove ivy\, blackberry and a few other non-native invasive plants that are smothering the park. Doing so will allow the native plants to re-establish and thrive\, restoring the natural ecosystem. \nThis is a volunteer effort promoted by Esquimalt Parks and Recreation under their Branch Out initiative. \nSaxe Point Park is at the bottom of Fraser Street in Esquimalt. Meet in front of the washroom block. \nPre-requirement: \nEsquimalt Parks and Recreation requires that all volunteers complete and sign a waiver as well as attend a brief orientation session before working in the park. \nVisit the township’s Branch Out webpage and contact the Community Development Programmer by: \n\nemail events@esquimalt.ca\n\nor \n\nphone 250-412-8518
