Sunday, July 18, 2021 at 8:17AM A recording of the Listening Circle that was held online June 30, 2021.
The Listening Circle was led by Coast Salish Elders Florence James and Raymond Tony Charlie, along with Florence's son Rocky James, all members of Penelakut Tribe. It was hosted by the Centre for Global Studies (CFGS) and the POLIS Project on Ecological Governance (POLIS) at the University of Victoria. Opening and closing remarks were contributed by CFGS Director Dr. Oliver Schmidtke and the event was organized and facilitated by POLIS Co-director Dr. Kelly Bannister.
The Listening Circle was organized in the spirit of listening and learning from local Indigenous Elders to better understand what reconciliation requires of us, after the deeply disturbing news of 215 children found in an unmarked mass burial site at the former Kamloops Residential School, on Tk’emlups te Secwépemc First Nation in Kamloops. Since the Listening Circle was held, news of more many unmarked graves continue to be reported across our country, including on Penelakut Island in connection with the former Kuper Island Residential Institution. Elder Florence James, Elder Raymond Tony Charlie and Rocky James shared their stories and wisdom with care, conviction, courage and compassion so we can all learn. To be part of healing and catalyzing real change for true reconciliation, we must first listen attentively to Indigenous Elders and leaders who are speaking with courage, strength and wisdom to guide this important moment in our shared history.
A special moment during the Listening Circle was reading of a poem written by Elder Raymond Tony Charlie, to be included in his forthcoming book "In the Shadow of the Red Brick Building." In response to many requests from participants of the Listening Circle, Ray Tony has generously made the poem available to share in advance of his book. The poem can be found here: https://poliswaterproject.org/files/2021/06/Poem_FINAL_Updated.pdf

Sunday, July 18, 2021 at 8:15AM Unfortunately, as this time, Community Care Paramedic face-to-face patient visits or Blood Pressure clinics will not be possible until BCEHS hires a new Community Paramedic in Chemainus for the position.
The position is still vacant; however, BCEHS do have a Community Paramedic who is available to provide virtual wellness checks for patients.
The virtual wellness checks would consist of phone check-ins or home health monitoring for the patients. For those patients who could benefit from this service, BCEHS would require a Patient Specific Service Referral form to be filled out – if you would like a form emailed to you, please contact me at chief11@telus.net.

Friday, July 16, 2021 at 7:05AM Good morning Thetis Islanders!
Very happy to be able to offer Yoga classes here on the Island at the beautifully renovated Forbes Hall. I have been teaching yoga for 10 years mainly in Vancouver for YYoga and at the Richmond Olympic Oval. I would like to get an idea of who is interested and which days/times work. These are the days and times I am looking at:
Saturdays:
9am -10am (leaving plenty of time during the summer months after class to head over to Jollity Farm to refill your Kombucha bottles and enjoy some yummy fresh produce, as well as visit the Saturday Markets for more delicious treats and all the lovely things they have to offer).
Tuesdays:
8am - 9am
Thursdays:
6pm - 7pm
My teaching style is playful, compassionate and joyful, so mainly flow Yoga synchronizing movement with breath. These are ‘open classes’ meaning they are suitable for beginners - intermediates, with modifications throughout. You will leave feeling lighter, brighter and more at ease in your minds and your hearts.
Classes will be by donation, all donations will go towards Forbes Hall.
I am hoping to start as soon as Saturday, 24th July. To help me help you, please email me asap at the below address, so that I can get an idea of numbers and what days/times work, thank you:
with love,
Karen

This special formula is made with wild, organic, local and biodynamic essential oils and essences and blended with a skin nourishing oil from local emus (the farm is in Chemainus!).
Get your human or pet/livestock mosquito repellent spray at the farm!
