My partner, Beau Wagner, is facilitating a workshop for Moose Hide Campaign Day. There's over 100 participants signed up for his talks & still time to register for his workshop or for the other workshops available to the public.

Moose Hide Campaign Day is a day of ceremony where all Canadians are called to join together to take a stand against violence towards women and children and to take practical steps for our collective journey of reconciliation. Registration is FREE to all participants!

The livestream originating from Victoria, BC. will feature Keynote addresses, along with messages of hope from Co-founders Raven and Paul Lacerte on how we can all work together to end gender based violence in Canada.

You can watch at one of the many community gatherings across Canada, or with family and loved ones via YouTube.

There will be two keynote speakers for the General Plenary, featuring Elain Alec and Michael Kaufman!

Once you register, you will have an opportunity to participate in two virtual workshops via Zoom. Facilitators on a variety of topics will help deepen your understanding of gender-based violence, and empower you with the tools and knowledge to help end this critical issue in our country.

Events and walks will be hosted by communities, schools and groups across Canada! Check the map below to join one in your area!

As in common in many Indigenous cultures, fasting is a symbol of commitment, and a way to deepen your intention. We encourage everybody to participate in the fast from sunrise to sunset on Moose Hide Campaign Day.

The Sunrise Ceremony from the East Coast of Turtle Island starts the day with intention. You can watch the ceremony on YouTube when the sun rises in your location.

There will be a livestream of the fast-breaking ceremony where witnesses from across Canada share their experiences from the day.

Free #OnlineEvent from #LibraryOfAmerica: What is #Totalitarianism? Understanding #HannahArendt Now

Registration is required, but there is no fee.

In her masterpiece, The Origins of Totalitarianism, Arendt linked the horrors of Nazism and Stalinism, seeing them as twin manifestations of a terrifying new political system that sought absolute control over all aspects of life. How does this book, which probed the psychology and pathology of the twentieth century, take on new relevance in today’s political landscape?

#VictoriaBC #Saanich #ViewRoyal #Esquimalt #YYJ - Happening today!

Keep the #Halloween spirit going in our neighbourhood with a #community #PumpkinParade!

Bring your carved #JackOLanterns down to #GorgePark between 3-5pm on November 1st, then return from 6-8pm to see them all lit up together as you take a spooky stroll! There is no limit to the number of #pumpkins you can bring down - the more, the merrier!

***If you're unable to bring your pumpkin down to the park and live in the #GorgeTillicum area, please put your pumpkins at the end of your driveway by 1pm and we will attempt to pick them up.***

The event will be held in Gorge Park adjacent to the parking lot opposite Orillia Street. Entertainment will run from 6pm - 7:30pm and there will be free hot chocolate and treats for the community.

This year, your pumpkins will get a third chance to entertain as they'll be delivered to the Tillicum Centre Pumpkin Smash the following day! Saanich Firefighters will be dropping the pumpkins from atop fire ladder before they go to compost station.

We have another great free author event in Stow coming soon. Join Rodge Glass in conversation with Alan Bissett in Stow Station House, Thursday 24th October from 7pm.
"Joshua in the Sky" is both an autobiography and biography, linking Rodge’s life with that of his nephew Joshua, who was born in March 2017 and died three hours after birth from HHT, the rare genetic blood condition shared across Rodge’s family.
