SUMMARY:Let’s Talk Heat - A Dialogue to Help Launch a BC Heat Collaborative
DESCRIPTION:Extreme heat is an increasing danger for residents of B.C. and much needs to be done. Several heat-focused groups in BC are taking steps to initiate a Heat Collaborative. This initiative seeks to take a cross-sectional approach in advocating for livable temperatures for all. We are bringing together a diverse cross-section of individuals and groups engaging or concerned with heat in some aspect of their interest\, work or membership. \nPlease register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/E0qkViDfT8CB-nCeVyZ1cA. \nTo help launch the Heat Collaborative – we want to hear your heat stories.\nOn May 6\, 2026\, we will be having small group discussions about how you have experienced heat issues in your community and place of work and what solutions we all need to achieve safer communities. We will then hear about some of the work currently being done to address the issues and what gaps remain.\nTo close\, we will ask participants to respond to a short questionnaire about their interests and messages for the Heat Collaborative to be an effective vehicle for livable temperatures for all. \nFacebook event page to share: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BEHE9ewpr/

SUMMARY:The Future of Honest Questioning
DESCRIPTION:The Humanist Cafe\nDiscussion Forum \n Free* And Open To All! \n \nWednesday May 6\, 2026 – 7:00-8:30 pm\n Cook Street Activity Center\n 380 Cook St. (Cook St. Village)\, Victoria\n \nLimited free parking and free street parking\n\nPlease Use The Side Entrance (beside the construction site)\n Purchase Coffee/Tea nearby at The Moka House – BYO mug! \n \n  \n* * * *\n  \nTopic – The Future of Honest Questioning\nPresenter:  Barrie Webster\nThe ability to question and the very act of questioning is fundamental to the humanistic life stance. But there are pitfalls for those daring to ask questions in today’s world. Ric Esther Bienstock’s recent essay in the Opinion section of the Saturday Globe and Mail ago expressed her concern: “Self-censorship has become the safest form of expression.” [see attachment below – the Globe and Mail is behind a paywall] \nAs Bienstock states\, “a generation [is] being taught that disagreement is harm.” Further\, university students and professors she spoke to told her that “they had abandoned certain lines of inquiry altogether fearing professional or social consequences.” As she says\, “when honest questions get reframed as instruments of oppression\, something essential is lost: the ability to disagree.” \n“Universities exist to teach people how to think\, not what to think. When we tell a generation that ‘disagreement is violence’\, that ‘discomfort is harm’\, that ‘the correct response to an idea you find threatening is to make sure nobody else hears it’\, we don’t protect them. We weaken them.” “…once we decide that some ideas are too dangerous to hear\, we have already conceded the argument to the people who would silence us.” \nOne of the key aspects of this problem is the lazy way of thinking known as binary reasoning. This either-or approach often leads to flawed\, oversimplified\, and judgmental conclusions and decision making. In binary thinking\, there is no room for nuance or accommodation of detail. Things are either black or white. \nMost decision making includes consideration of more than one variable (or should). Critical thinking helps us deal with and evaluate the importance of these variables. \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking \nIt is perhaps useful to consider the analysis of this situation in the university context. \nIn 2014\, President Robert J Zimmer and Provost Eric D Isaacs at the University of Chicago appointed The Committee on Freedom of Expression to draft a statement “articulating the University’s overarching commitment to free\, robust\, and uninhibited debate and deliberation among all members of the University’s community.” \nhttps://provost.uchicago.edu/sites/default/files/documents/reports/FOECommitteeReport.pdf \nThey stated that “…education should not be intended to make people comfortable; it is meant to make them think. Universities should be expected to provide the conditions within which hard thought\, and therefore strong disagreement\, independent judgment\, and the questioning of stubborn assumptions\, can flourish in an environment of the greatest freedom.” \n“But it is not the proper role of the University to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome\, disagreeable\, or even deeply offensive. Although the University greatly values civility\, and although all members of the University community share in the responsibility for maintaining a climate of mutual respect\, concerns about civility and mutual respect can never be used as a justification for closing off discussion of ideas\, however offensive or disagreeable those ideas may be to some members of our community.” \nSo back to the concerns expressed by Bienstock in her essay. \nQuestions: \n1. What are the implications for modern society? \n2. What role if any do colonialism and racism play in determining what questioning is respectable\, particularly in an educational setting? \n3. How do today’s humanists need to proceed to defend the right to challenge the assumptions and conventions of Canadians? Of anyone? \n\nSee you there!  Bring a questioning friend.\n* Donations gratefully accepted\nwww.vsha.ca

SUMMARY:Where the Light Gets In: Why Canada's Global Engagement Matters
DESCRIPTION:Fulford Hall 7:30PM Saturday June 6th \n\nTickets available HERE\n\nDuring this time of global crisis\, few Canadians have had a closer view of the world’s faultlines than Bob Rae. The former Ambassador to the United Nations spent the past five years at the very heart of global diplomacy\, where some of the most consequential decisions affecting humanity are made. \nBob Rae brought four decades of hard-fought political experience to the United Nations. He’d been an NDP Member of Parliament\, the Premier of Ontario\, and the interim leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. He’d also done important work on Indigenous issues and human rights\, giving him a rare blend of moral clarity and political realism. \n  \nBob Rae represented Canada at the United Nations through the COVID-19 pandemic\, the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, the October 7\, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza. Again and again\, his principled voice was heard in the highest corridors of power\, helping Canada make a difference on the world stage. \n  \nPlease join the Salt Spring Forum in an informed\, sobering but ultimately optimistic conversation with one of Canada’s greatest statesmen\, the remarkable\, irrepressible Bob Rae. \n  \n  \nTickets are still available HERE for Alex Neve: 2025 CBC Massey Lecturer\nFulford Hall.  7:30pm Wednesday May 13th\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 and Harbour Air.

SUMMARY:Listening for What Wants to Emerge: A Conversation with Otto Scharmer
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a Resilience and Possibility in These Times conversation with Otto Scharmer on Wednesday\, May 13th. \nIf you’re searching for an effective response to what you see and feel happening in the world today\, you are not alone. Many are feeling the weight of this moment\, while also sensing something new is trying to emerge. This gathering offers a space to listen more deeply for what is y(ours) to do. \nOtto is one of the leading voices in transformational education and leadership in our time\, and a teacher whose work has deeply influenced the Pachamama Alliance. As the creator of Theory U and founder of the Presencing Institute\, he has supported leaders and communities around the world to sense beneath the noise and fragmentation of this time and reconnect with the deeper field of awareness and relationship from which a regenerative future can emerge. \nIn this conversation\, we will explore what it means to shift from ego-system to eco-system awareness and why regenerative transformation begins in the “social soil\,” the quality of awareness and relationship beneath the systems we are trying to change. \nThis initial encounter between Pachanama Alliance and Otto Scharmer\, just could be one of those conversations that “changes everything.” Come and see! \nRegister here: https://landing.pachamama.org/otto-scharmer-2026 \n
