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.

For $161.42 CAD - you can dine with former corrupt BC politicians, who are mostly corrupt lobbyists now & get the chance to hear from Bill Pristanski - in Victoria, in late May.
Remember Pristanski? From the big SNC-Lavalin scandal? Let me refresh your memories:Pristanski is the special guest speaker at this event -> 44th Annual Dinner of the Association of Former MLAs of British Columbia 🤮
Warning: Reading the event description may induce eyerolls and/or nauseous feels.

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.

This was my fave #ArtPiece at #ArtisTree yesterday ❤️
Tanya Bub is an #EcoArtist who creates #sculptures of animals and people from #FoundWood and #RecycledMaterials. A signature feature of her work is making inanimate objects appear to be so alive that is it almost impossible to resist the feeling that there is a living being present.
This piece of art is called, Sitting With Grace - created in 2023.
Sitting with Grace is a sculpture project done in #collaboration, #OurPlaceSociety, #HausOfOwl creator, Ross Whelan and people in the #StreetCommunities in Victoria, BC. You can read more about the project and sculpture on #VictoriaBuzz :

My friend, Evert, plays bass guitar with Tight Hair Disco. He's been playing with them for 10 years. They're a popular local #CoverBand & play mostly #disco & #80sMusic. They always get the crowd dancing 💃🕺
They will be performing again at the #CameronBandshell in #BeaconHillPark on June 27th at 1pm. Go enjoy some fun tunes for free!

Short vid clip of my friends playing at Government House ☺️🎵❤️🎶
Their #Celtic band is called, Cookeilidh. They've been playing together for 19 years. A fave band for many locals in #VictoriaBC & across #VancouverIsland. They sometimes perform with some BC Highland dancing troupes too.
