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.

This is myth\, legend\, theology and philosophy. It is t he essential teaching for our time.”\n-Elizabeth May\, O.C.\, M.P \n“I was lost before I was born”: the starting point of Pacheedaht Elder Bil l Jones’ lifelong journey of decolonization. “You were all Indigenous once”: the starting point for ending a world based on exploitation and g reed. \nAt Port Renfrew\, British Columbia\, in 2020\, both settlers and F irst Nations experienced a re-indigenization and became reacquainted with our Great Mother during the fight to save some of the last remaining old g rowth forest at the Fairy Creek Blockades. As Elder Bill sat in a tent dur ing a West Coast storm at the height of the protests\, he experienced the final phase of his personal decolonization\, his absolute re-indigenizatio n\, when he realized: “I know what happened!”\, a revelation that has informed his life ever since. \nCombining the story of Elder Bill’s pers onal life and ancestors\, elder wisdom\, settler feminism\, and the inspir ational story of the Fairy Creek Blockades — the largest act of civil di sobedience in Canada — Listening Once Again to Our Great Mother is wisdo m weaving to motivate those towards their own self-awakening\, even after Elder Bill is gone.
