Artisan of the Week

This week’s visiting artist is Deb, of Winchelsea Designs! Deb is a brilliant glass artist whose work is inspired by the beauty of coastal Vancouver Island.

Deb is fascinated with the interplay of glass and light. Most of her larger pieces are uniquely carved and showcase her love of the ocean and all creatures within. Deb’s passion and attention to detail result in quality fused glass work each time she opens the kiln.

Don’t miss out! Saturday 10am-2pm at the Summer Market at Howling Wolf Farm.

ThINC Tank - Screening and Discussion: Our Daily Bread (youth, adults)
Location: The Nature House at The Portal, 254 North Cove Road

Highly mechanized systems and tremendous scale, ‘Our Daily Bread’ provides a realistic view on the internal workings of modern food production. This unique documentary by German filmmaker Nikolaus Geyrhalter abstains from the use of voiceover narration and dramatic music, allowing the audience to draw their own conclusions about industrial agriculture. As objective as a film can get, ‘Our Daily Bread’ doesn’t tell you what to think, nor does it propose alternatives to the status-quo, but it does provide ample food for thought.

If you are interested in getting a glimpse of our modern industrialized food system, join us for a viewing and discussion this Thursday evening.

BC Ferries: Spune’luxutth’ March for the Children August 7, 2023 Chemainus, BC

In support of the Spune’luxutth’ March for the Children, BC Ferries will be providing complimentary vehicle and passenger travel between Chemainus, Thetis Island, and Penelakut Island on Monday, August 7, for those travelling to commemorate the lives lost and those who did not return home from the former Kuper Island residential school.

The vessel servicing this route can carry up to 26 vehicles. Travellers may choose to travel as foot passengers or carpool to avoid possible early morning sailing waits.

Penelakut Island residents departing Telegraph Harbour can find the August 7 schedule here, and Thetis Island residents departing Preedy Harbour can review the schedule here.

BC Ferries continues to stand with all Indigenous people, families, communities and residential school survivors who have suffered significant trauma throughout Canada’s history. Our deepest condolences go out to families and communities in mourning. Every child matters. We stand with the Penelakut Tribe during this difficult time.

Penelakut March for the Children: Monday August 7th

Join the 3rd annual March for the Children to show your support and to listen. The walk will take place this coming Monday, August 7th in the village of Sunuwnets (Chemainus). 

BC Ferries is waiving ferry fares for Penelakut and Thetis on the day of the walk.
