  6. 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.

  8. Over the past year, the #LifeCycles team has been taking a deep dive into reimagining what the #SeedLibrary can be. With the help of many dedicated volunteers, we’ve spent significant time sorting and organizing seeds, and we’re excited to share what’s coming next.

    By the end of February, #seed #donation bins will be launched at each of #GreaterVictoriaPublicLibrary branches. The Seed Library at the Broughton branch in downtown Victoria, which will both collect and distribute seeds, is expected to be fully functional by March.

    We are also shifting how #seeds are accessed at the #library to make them more #accessible and increase their reach. The Seed Library will function more like a Seed Box - prioritizing ease of access, because we believe that access to seeds—especially amid rising food costs—is an important part of local #foodsecurity.

    Alongside this, we are planning to continue the Seed Library’s core work of growing out heirloom and locally adapted varieties so they remain accessible in our region. As these seeds become available, we will put these seeds into rotation in the Broughton Branch Seed Library.

    We’re also planning two #SeedWorkshops this year — a beginner workshop in the spring and a more advanced workshop in the summer. More details coming soon!

    #Volunteer opportunities - come help us!

    We have two remaining seed-sorting shifts and we would love your help:

    Monday, January 19, 10:00 am–12:00 pm

    Monday, January 26, 1:00–3:00 pm

    Shifts take place at our Esquimalt office (808 Viewfield Rd, Unit A). Snacks are provided! You can sign up through the Gleaning Hub under Join → Shifts

  10. @PhotographyElf This could be good news for those in British Columbia looking for a social media experience without the toxic algorithms. #VictoriaBC #saanich #esquimalt #oakbay

  11. Eyeless #smile in the sky. Above the old, closed & locally well known/beloved Ian's Coffee Shop.
    Site is still under redevelopment.

    I have many fond memories at Ian's Coffee Shop & was sad when it closed several years back.

    Read about the old cafe here:
    lifeasahuman.com/2013/photogra

    "....Richmond Road’s once-iconic ‘Ian’s Coffee Stop building,’ reported on by Citified in April of this year, has dropped its first public visuals of what’s in planning by developer Empresa Properties and architectural firm Cascadia Architects."

  15. The latest weirdness from the British Columbia provincial election: Someone requested a recount in the riding of Oak Bay-Gordon Head.

    Apparently someone thinks they miscounted over 5,000 votes, or nearly 20 per cent of the ballots cast.

    I didn't know the Republicans were running here.

  22. I had a fantastic sail adventure today. Took my friend, Nadene, out for her first Martin 16 sailing experience. She loved it & took a ton of photos. We had fab winds on the waters today & I got to do a lot of keeling 😀 Fun time, on the ocean, on a gorgeous day!
