  1. Some impressions from our last Open Doors Day, with a wide range of offerings and lots of demo projects on display.

    It was a great chance to show what the lab is about, share ideas, and give visitors a look at what we build and explore together.

  2. Slight change of time I'll be at #VIVAS #OpenHouse today. I won't be there until 3pm - staying until 8pm. I need to pickup some extra supplies before going to meet Jada at studio. We're at the main VIVAS building on Blanshard St, on the main floor. Take a left, after entering building & Prickly Pear Studio is on the right, half way down hallway.

  3. Heads up! April 4th 👉 #VictoriaBC & area folks! Fun #Spring #MigratoryBirds #birding event!

    Come out & enjoy a lovely outdoors community connecting with nature event!
    I'm going to be there with my Indigenous friend, Jada.

    Migratory Magnificence : #Camas Meadow Medley.

    Join #SNEMITIYE Dominque James & #SpecialBirdService for a springtime Camas Meadow Medley at #CattlePoint and #UplandsPark.

    Early April marks one of the most vibrant seasonal shifts on southern Vancouver Island. Camas meadows begin to wake, early wildflowers emerge, and the sharp metallic buzz of Rufous Hummingbirds returns to the landscape.

    These small but fierce migrants travel thousands of kilometres each year, arriving along the coast just as nectar sources begin to bloom. Their presence signals the true beginning of spring.

    Together we will explore the Garry oak ecosystem and coastal meadows of Uplands Park, learning how to notice hummingbird behaviour, listen for territorial calls, and observe feeding patterns among early blossoms.

    This is not a fast-paced checklist focused walk. It’s an opportunity to slow down and tune into the rhythms of spring migration.

    Open to all who agree to abide by the Cormorant's Creed. No birding experience required.

    Since the beginning of this year, The Bartholomew Collective has been forming a relationship of mutual aid with Sara Abu Rida. Sara is a dear friend of ours from Gaza, doing everything she can to keep her loved ones alive. Her family includes her mother, nieces and nephews, extended family, and community. Since the escalation of the genocide, her family home has been destroyed by bombs, and her family has been displaced numerous times. Amongst rampant starvation, sickness, unending violence, and the complete destruction of Palestine's economy, Sara and her family have a constant need for funds.

  7. I'll be representing LifeCycles Project Society, solo, at this upcoming #BIPOC led #FreeCommunityEvent in Fernwood.

    Seeds and Synergies. Cultural Foods meet the Good Food 2030 Strategy - please reserve your free tickets.
    eventbrite.ca/e/seeds-and-syne

    The #Seeds and #Synergies is a gathering that aims to bring together community members, growers, farmers, and farmers to be, facilitators, and partners from racialized groups to reflect on the role of #CulturallyRelevantCrops and #LandAccess in shaping the access of these groups to locally grown, healthy and nutritious foods, education, employment opportunities, income, and belonging to the land, to themselves and their communities.

    For the past five years, #IyéCreative has been working with community members and local farmers to learn about cultural crops – plant relatives that carry deep meaning for our food, health, and traditions on Coast Salish lands. We’ve also been pushing for fairer land policies so more people can grow the foods and medicines that matter to them.

    #CulturalFoods aren’t just products on a market, or grocery store shelf. They’re living connections that tie us to land, spirit, and each other.

    We are inviting you to help us make this story come alive!

  14. Some of the many #Halloween #costumes at the Monster Mash event last night. Hosted & organized by the Burnside Gorge Community Association. It's an annual pre-Halloween, kid friendly, community event that is open to all families/all ages.

    Their next annual holiday community event is the Santa's Pancake Breakfast.
    More info on that will be posted soon. The details are still being worked out. It should be same cost as last year. BGCA aims to host either free or very affordable community events so more people can enjoy them without additional financial stress. The admission cost last year was only $7/Family(no cap on number of children) & $3/person.
