Seed Library Launch

SEEDY SATURDAY
We are thrilled to launch our new Seed Library with a special garden-themed event! Join us on Saturday, February 11 from 10-2 for a family fun celebration. Rain or shine there will be kids' activities, garden advice, food trucks, door prizes, and, of course, free seeds, indoors and out!

Read all about the seed library and come and check out some seeds starting February 11.

Has the news on climate change got you down? Learn more about what the science says and what we can do to help on a personal, community and global level. Educators from RegenerateBC will help us find hope through action. February 7, 6:00-7:30.

Tax Basics with FSGV

February marks the start of tax season. Filing taxes is not the most fun, but it is the only way to access lots of government benefits. And cashing a cheque IS fun! Join Family Services in this workshop over Zoom to learn the basics and overcome your challenges. February 8, 6:00-7:30.

CaRT Peer Navigators

If you are struggling and don't know where to start, our new Community and Resource Team (CaRT) can help you get sorted. These peer navigators with lived experience are available for weekly drop-ins to work with you one-on-one to achieve your goals. Wednesdays 11-2 starting February 15.

Teen ProD Day Book Club

Looking for something to do on the February ProD Day? Why not bring your best comic book, graphic novel, or manga recommendations to our teen book club and enjoy some pizza too? February 21, 2:00-3:00
