SUMMARY:Saltwater Tongues
DESCRIPTION:As part of our exciting lineup of Ocean Week events\, we’re thrilled to invite you to our Saltwater Tongues event series\, a creative community gathering where poetry meets environmental justice. Last year\, we heard stunning poems about marine mammals\, bull kelp\, and the deep pull of the ocean\, along with many other profound stories. \nJoin us Saturday\, June 6th\, at Caffe Fantastico (Quadra Village) for an evening that welcomes everyone to listen\, share\, and speak into being more just and resilient futures. \nRSVP here! \nThis year\, we want to hone in on how climate intersects with the Salish Sea and what it means to live on the shores in times of change.\nWe’re also co-hosting this event with the Gorge Waterway Action Society\, the BC Climate Emergency Campaign\, and the University of Victoria Sustainability Project. \nWe think its important to work together to make change in the communities we live in\, and by bringing together all of these rad orgs\, we make space for pathways to action that everyone can participate in. We’ll have a Community Action table that people can engage with\, and we’ll have lots of opportunity to chat about poetry\, change-making\, and how we can build community in times of precarity. \nImportantly\, we want this to be a fun and accessible space. Bring your own words\, the words of others\, or any form of creative expression that moves you. Whether you’re sharing or simply soaking it in\, this night is about connecting through art\, transformation\, and community care. It will provide a space to reflect on how resilience moves through both bodies and water.

SUMMARY:Printmaking in the Orchard
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a beautiful afternoon in the Orchard learning to make your own stamps and decorating a tote bag with the designs you create \n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Description\nCome out and enjoy a morning of art in the Orchard! This workshop will walk you through all the steps of how to design\, carve and use linocut stamps\, as well as how to use materials from some of the wonderful species around the orchard to make collagraph prints. No previous art skills required! All participants will get the chance to design and create their own stamp based on inspiration from the Orchard\, and then use it in combination with collagraph techniques to print a beautiful tote bag to take home. \nBe sure to come dressed for the elements as this workshop will be held outdoors. \nGetting here\nAs there is limited parking available at the orchard\, please bike\, walk\, bus or carpool if possible. We are located right on the galloping goose\, and you are welcome to bring bikes into the orchard to lock them up safely. \nIf you are driving\, there are 8 parking spots located at the end of stancil lane\, 1 of which will be reserved as accessible for the duration of the workshop. Please be mindful of our neighbours and do not park in the large driveway on the south side of the street. Additional parking can be found along the street on High St and Eaton Ave. \nAbout the Instructor\nRiver (they/them) works for Lifecycles Project as the Welland Orchard Coordinator\, as well as running their own landscaping business\, Nightingale Gardens. They are passionate about increasing the resilience of urban and suburban landscapes through utilising plants native to these territories\, increasing food security through integrating edible perennials and fruit trees into the landscape\, and helping to increase connections to land through making gardening more possible and accessible. \nHow to Register for this Event\nThis workshop is in person only. Please dress appropriately for all types of weather\, as the workshop will be hosted outside in the orchard. \nThis workshop is available on a sliding scale basis. Please pay in alignment with your financial privilege to help us continue to offer tickets in this way\, and support those in your community with less financial privilege to attend our workshops. There are also a limited number of by donation tickets available for this workshop\, these tickets are prioritized for folks who are low income and would otherwise be unable to attend. If the ticket cost is a barrier for you\, please utilize these tickets. \nLifeCycles Project Society is always working to learn more about\, and breakdown\, barriers that may exist in accessing our programming. We understand providing sliding scale tickets is by no means an exhaustive look at systems of oppression that exist for people. We welcome your ideas and feedback as we work to continue learning. \nPlease contact us if you are no longer able to attend but hold a ticket so we can make your space available to someone else and work to process your refund. \nYou can also register for the event by calling our office at 250 383-5800 or via email by contacting welland@lifecyclesproject.ca \nAccessibility\nAccess from the parking area off Stancil Lane is through a latching unlocked gate. There is a gravel/dirt path sloping downward from the gate that leads to a wide flat grassy area with picnic table seating. If you are coming from the Galloping Goose entrance\, which also has a latching unlocked gate\, you will find a gravel/dirt path that slopes upward to the wide flat seating area. The steepness of the path varies throughout the Orchard and is steepest at the top of the Orchard closer to the Stancil Lane entrance\, and at the bottom between the Galloping Goose trail and the Orchard entrance. The pathway from the Galloping Goose to the entrance to the Orchard has several sharp turns. \nThe Orchard has a single-stall gender-neutral composting toilet facility on site with ramp access and transfer bars which will be open during the workshop. The composting toilet is located below the flat area and toward the Galloping Goose entrance. Hand sanitizer is available inside the toilet. \nThe workshop will be held outside rain or shine\, please dress appropriately for the weather. The seating provided is picnic benches. Please feel free to bring a cushion or your own folding chair\, a limited number of cushions are available at the orchard. \nThere is access to potable water on site.

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
