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.

Metis Nation of Greater Victoria invites you to join for the annual Knowledge Keepers Gathering! This is an event where we highlight and showcase Metis knowledge from academic researchers, Metis-focused research, to cultural knowledge holders, storytellers, artists, musicians and dancers.

This event is free, for anyone and everyone to attend, and there is no registration required.

*I'll update with more detailed info, closer to event date. A few things are still being worked out.*

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.

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.
https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/seeds-and-synergies-cultural-foods-meet-the-good-food-2030-strategy-tickets-1641365461279

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!

Our annual #LifecyclesProject #CommunitySharing Day is right around the corner on September 27th 🍏🍎🍐🍇

It will be hosted once again at #WellandCommunityOrchard from 11-3pm.
You're welcome to bike, or to try your luck at getting one of the parking spots. If you do not have mobility concerns or require transport of things such as strollers & walkers, consider avoiding trying to park right at the orchard. There's some street parking near the orchard as well, we just ask that you be concious of the neighbours. This year we will have a free shuttle bus from our warehouse at 808A Viewfield Rd out to Welland Orchard to alleviate the limited parking. It will make the following trips:

Leaves Lifecycles office:
-11am
-12pm
-1pm
-2pm

Leaves Welland
-11:30am
-12:30pm
-1:30pm
-3pm

Come out for a family friendly day of celebrating the harvest! We'll be giving away plenty of fruit, pressing fresh apple cider, our heritage apple tasting table will be back & we will have a #seedbomb making table as well as a #ScavengerHunt for the kids.

I hope to see you there!
Please bring a small bag if you'd like to take home some free fruits that we'll be giving to folks who want some 😊
