  1. Downtown #VictoriaBC will be filled with music, colour and tradition on April 11 as the Victoria #BengaliCulturalSociety hosts its first outdoor celebration of #PohelaBoishakh - the #Bengali #NewYear. The #FreeEvent, set for #CentennialSquare at noon, marks a milestone for the local Bengali community, bringing one of its most recognized #cultural traditions into the public square. For the first time in Victoria, organizers will stage the #MongolShobhajatra -a “parade of well-being” recognized by #UNESCO. The procession will feature large, handcrafted masks and vibrant artistic structures, accompanied by drumming and music symbolizing #peace and #unity.

    The parade is expected to begin around 1 p.m. The celebration will also include live Bengali music and dance performances, a food fair showcasing #SouthAsian cuisine, and vendor stalls offering traditional clothing and handmade goods. Organizers say the event is meant to highlight the #diversity of #cultures on #VancouverIsland while offering residents a chance to engage with Bengali traditions.

  2. I'll be the solo #LifeCyclesProjectSociety representative at Food Future - Capital Region - General Public W4. Hosted/facilitated by #FutureXplorations Research Group - KPU, at Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion.

    Join us in an unprecedented island-wide #initiative to build a resilient, #sovereign #FoodSystem rooted in #sustainability and #equity.

    This is not just another project. It’s a call to action. Your voice matters. Your lived experience matters. Real change must come from the ground up—and we believe solutions must be shaped by those most impacted.

    We are committed to empowering our communities and co-creating a future where everyone has access to healthy, locally-grown #food —no matter the political or economic climate.

    This is your moment. Let’s come together. Let’s lead the way.

    Join us. Speak up. Be part of the change.

  3. 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!

  9. Here's the event slideshow.

    1st #NorthAfrican #Cookout at Fed Farm in #Vicwest. Absolutely fabulous community event! Lots of delicious #Moroccan & #Tunisian foods were cooked & given to guests to eat. Many stories shared. Beautiful acoustic music was played. Wonderful new local BIPOC connections were made & some lovely reunions occurred too. I had a really great time!

    Most folks who came out had similar displacement backgrounds. Several of us are war survivors who lost our family homes overseas & are far from many family members(my Mom's side is stuck in remote offgrid village) who are still living in our homelands. It was good for our souls to be around fellow POC diaspora. We understand each other better than others do because of similar life experiences from before coming to Canada. We also faced similar struggles/racism when we came to Canada as refugees of wars.

    I am looking forward to helping them out more at some future community connecting events & grassroots projects in the near future.
