Upcoming #lecture talk at #UVIC.

From #Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed.
April 16, 2026.

Join us April 16, 2026 at the University of Victoria for a thought-provoking talk with keynote speaker Ben Parfitt as he explores, Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed: The Case for Rezoning BC’s Public Lands.

Ben has covered #forestry and natural resource issues in #BritishColumbia since the 1980s both as a journalist and in his previous role as senior public policy analyst with the now-closed Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, BC Office. He is currently a reporter with The Tyee where he covers the forestry and oil and gas industries, among others, and their impacts on critical natural resources like water.

In his talk, Ben will explain the consequences of today’s outdated land use policies and outline how rezoning BC’s public lands can set us on a more desirable course by conserving at-risk primary forests, restore lands scarred by industrialization and support jobs in a refocused, value-oriented forest industry.

Whether you’re an activist, policy maker or someone passionate about environmental preservation this is a talk you won’t want to miss.

Books about race, gender, sexuality, colonial history—these are among the most challenged titles in Canadian schools and libraries. 🚫📚

This week is Freedom to Read Week (Feb 22–28), and our colleagues at UVic Libraries have created a display that puts those books front and centre—because the best response to a challenge is to read the challenged books! ✊

Stop by McPherson Library to have a look. 👀

I met Harold Joe, a #Cowichan based #Indigenous knowledge keeper/teacher, actor & film producer, in 2015. He had come to Victoria to audition for a lead role in the Telus Optik webseries that I worked on for a few years. We casted him.
He's now co-owner & producer at Orca Cove Media with my old film production executive producer, Leslie Bland.

There's two #IndigenousFilm screenings at #UVIC in March with 2 films from Ocra Cove.

Wonder what Kula is all about? Here's a good place to start. 👇

In an interview with EurekAlert, Kula Director @jmhuculak talks about what happens when libraries become spaces of collaboration, creativity, and shared inquiry — from reflecting about 'the university being an agreement the past has with the present', to building AI tools for research, to growing flax in a community garden and making paper. Kula is working on connecting the dots (and creating new ones).

Nobody changes the world through office chit-chat. Right? 👀

Well, a friendly water cooler chat between UVic Libraries' Transgender Archives Metadata Librarian Michael Radmacher and Kula's first International Visiting Fellow @Lambo, head of the @tibosl at @tibhannover, eventually led to a transatlantic connection with the Queerbrarians — a European network of LGBTQIA+ library professionals.

The result: a growing international network of Queer & Trans+ colleagues who support each other's work to put LGBTQIA+ communities' voices at the center of how their histories are preserved and shared.

What can a century of mountain photographs tell us about a rapidly changing world? 🏔️

The Mountain Legacy Project has spent nearly 30 years combining Library and Archives Canada collections, provincial archives, museum records, and repeat photography from historical vantage points to find out—and now it's a book.

Join us this Thursday (Feb 12, 7 PM) at UVic Libraries (Room A308, DSC) for the launch of Mountain Voices and a panel on why mountains matter and how awe can become action.

Free event, open to everyone. No expertise required - only curiosity. Stay for the reception after!
