DESCRIPTION:The Fifty Fifty Arts Collective presents Mending Gently\, a s
 olo art exhibition by Jenna Short. Jenna is a Dakelh artist from the Saik
 ’uz First Nation. She has always felt connected to forests\, oceans\, an
 d the land\, which became grounding spaces in her life and provided a safe
  blanket and place to breathe during times of uncertainty. \nThis connecti
 on later influenced Jenna’s art practice. She often works with figurativ
 e and landscape subjects through oil painting\, watercolour\, and wood car
 vings. Her art practice heavily includes plywood\, with the material actin
 g as colonized and commercialized pieces of land that are being returned t
 o the body. According to Short\, Mending Gently explores themes of feeli
 ng disconnected from place and the effects of the industrialized society o
 n the natural body. \nWhere: The Fifty Fifty Arts Collective\, 2516 Dougl

DESCRIPTION:The Victoria Arion Male Choir: Tradition and Community \nAbout
  the Choir\nThe Victoria Arion Male Choir represents one of the newest add
 itions to the vibrant choral scene in Victoria\, BC. Formed in the summer 
 of 2018\, the choir is the result of the union between two long-standing e
 nsembles: the Arion Male Voice Choir\, established in 1892\, and the Victo
 ria Male Voice Choir\, founded in 1907. Both groups recognized the opportu
 nity to better pursue their vision of creating “a community of men singi
 ng for health and joy” by coming together as one. This merger has proven
  to be a dynamic and successful venture\, yielding positive results both m
 usically and organizationally. \nOur Mission\nThe choir is dedicated to su
 staining the rich tradition of male-voice choral music. Each year\, member
 s share their passion for music through a minimum of two public concerts\,
  as well as performances at seniors’ residences\, the Victoria Remembran
 ce Day ceremony\, and other community events. In support of music educatio
 n\, the Victoria Arion Male Choir offers a choral scholarship program\, in
 viting up to four student musicians annually to join and perform with the 
 group. New members are always welcome to experience the camaraderie and jo
 y of choral singing. \nLeadership\nUnder the direction of Musical Director
  Sean Lampard-Quicke\, who joined the choir in 2020\, and the accompanimen
 t of collaborative pianist Jennifer Mitchell\, a member since 2019\, the c
 hoir continues to thrive and evolve. \nMembership and Rehearsals\nThe Vict
 oria Arion Male Choir is actively seeking new singers for its non-audition
  choir\, beginning in January 2026. Open houses will be held on Mondays\
 , January 5th\, 12th\, and 19th\; rehearsals start at 7:00 p.m. each Monda
 y.  at Cordova Bay United Church\, located at 813 Claremont Ave. The cho
 ir performs four-part harmony\, with a diverse repertoire that includes cl
 assical\, spiritual\, folk\, and contemporary selections. Additionally\, t
 he choir welcomes applications for its choral scholar program. \nFor those
  interested in joining as a new member or learning more about the choral s
 cholar program\, please contact Jim Johnson at jimmysj@shaw.ca or visit 
 the choir’s website at www.vamc.ca.

DESCRIPTION:Directed by Kathleen MacLean\nSet in “eighteen hundred and s
 omething”\, three very different women with a preference for 21st-centur
 y slang sit in a fort on the banks of the Reddish River\, sharing their vi
 ews on life\, love\, and that hot nerd Louis Riel (“He is SO dreamy…th
 e total package!”)\nIn this lively historical satire of survival and cul
 tural inheritance\, playwright Frances Koncan shifts perspectives from the
  male gaze onto women’s power-in the past and present-through the lens o
 f the rapidly changing world of the Canadian fur trade.\nWHY WE CHOSE THIS
  PLAY\nWe are captivated by the way that Koncan’s irreverent and witty c
 omedy looks at Indigenous history through a modern feminist lens. Poking f
 un at the men who have stolen the limelight for far too many years\, Marie
 -Angelique\, Cecilia\, and Eugenia track the progress of-and interact with
 -Louis Riel and Thomas Scott. -Michael Shamata and Nigel Shawn Williams \n
 This production of Women of the Fur Trade is supported in part by a genero
 us gift from Diane Scott. \nURLs:\nTickets: https://go.evvnt.com/3784665-0
