With her extensive acting and music experience\, Katrina will show participants how to embody their characters informed by the morning’s historical skill building activities. Have you ever used a washboard as a musical instrument? \nOn the last day of the two-week camp the children will perform a bit of what they’ve learned and created. \nFor the best experience\, camp will be limited to maximum 10 children. Register early to avoid disappointment! \nCost: \n$700 – 2 weeks of camp per child \n$650 – each additional child from same family (use coupon code SIBLING to apply discount) \nCancellation Policy: \nCamp fees are non-refundable: \nRegistration: \nOpen now – online\, by phone\, in person.

SUMMARY:Dog Walk for Wolves
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Victoria on International Wolf Day for a dog walk with a purpose – Come and learn more about the importance of BC wolves and the threats they face. \n\n\nHosted by Pacific Wild\, this free\, family-friendly event explores the existing link between dogs and their closest living relatives. \nMeet us at the Cameron Bandshell in Beacon Hill Park with your pup (or just yourself!) for pre-walk activities such as a wolf howl competition with a fun prize for the winner\, a photo booth for you and your furry friends\, a sign making station to show your support for the conservation of B.C. wolves\, and an information booth where you can learn more about the B.C. wolf cull. \nWe will walk together at 6:15pm from Beacon Hill Park to the Legislative Fountain for a group photo\, including a quick stop at the Victoria Centennial Fountain to visit the Bronze Wolf statue. \nBring your dog. Learn about his or her wild K9 cousin. Wolves hold ecosystems together — and right now\, they’re being killed by government programs and under-regulated hunting and trapping. One walk at a time\, our community of dog lovers can help change that.

SUMMARY:Solastalgia: Poetry and Prose Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join RAVEN\, in partnership with Urban Ink\, for the next instalments of our Solastalgia Community Event Series. \n\n\n\n\nThis series has had so much interest and requests to host in other cities\, so to answer that call\, the next two sessions will be taking place in Vancouver\, B.C. \nThis chapter of the series will explore the theme of Ecosystems of Care. We’ll consider the relationships and practices within communities that sustain us through times of ecological and social change. Together\, we will reflect on how care flows between people\, land\, water\, more-than-human kin\, and future generations. And we’ll ask ourselves what it means to nurture resilience in an era of climate uncertainty. \nFor this session\, on August 16\, 2026\, there will be a Solastalgia-themed poetry and prose workshop facilitated by natasha gauthier\, a mixed settler and reconnecting Indigenous multidisciplinary writer and visual artist. Through guided writing prompts\, reflection\, and discussion\, participants will explore their relationship to place\, climate change\, grief\, belonging\, and collective care. Whether you’re an experienced writer or simply curious about writing your thoughts out\, this workshop will offer a welcoming space to connect with others and express what it means to live in a changing world. \nGet your tickets for the poetry and prose workshop now! \nLocation: Jim Green House Studio\, 1885 Venables St\, Vancouver\, BC \nAccessibility: The Studio space is the lower level of the heritage home\, accessible from the ground floor. It is slightly elevated; however\, there is a ramp down from the main door. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/solastalgia-poetry-and-prose-workshop-tickets-1993026711545

SUMMARY:Remembering the 2021 Heat Dome
DESCRIPTION:Please join UBC researchers and Society Promoting Environmental Conservation\, United Way BC Healthy Aging\, Climate Disaster Project\, and Seniors for Climate for an event on Sunday August 16th to remember the 2021 heat dome.

SUMMARY:Builders of the Dunsmuir Legacy
DESCRIPTION:On September 30\, 1890\, the Vancouver World reported that Joan Dunsmuir had moved into her new $500\,000 residence. Craigdarroch Castle’s scale and grandeur were unprecedented in Victoria\, inspiring admiration for its craftsmanship while drawing attention to the wealth and power it so boldly displayed. Although scores of city dwellers worked on the construction project\, many key tradesmen came from elsewhere. Several remained in Victoria\, building their reputations on the skills showcased at Craigdarroch. Drawing on research from the book\, Craigdarroch Reconstructed\, castle curator Jenny Seeman will introduce us to some of the architects\, contractors\, and craftsmen behind the iconic Dunsmuir homes that still shape Victoria’s skyline.

SUMMARY:Commie Bop Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\n\n\nA Commie Bop is an expression of freedom\, verve\, and solidarity. 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: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.
