SUMMARY:Seniors for Climate Action
DESCRIPTION:Seniors For Climate Inaugural Event \nTuesday\, October 1\, 2024 \n12:00 noon – 1:00 pm \nDavis Bay Pier\, Sechelt \nSeniors For Climate is a new national organization of Canadian seniors who are alarmed at the tepid pace that our respective governments\, at all levels\, are addressing the climate crisis.  Seniors for Climate has chosen October 1st\, Canada’s National Seniors’ Day and the International Day of Older Persons to launch its inaugural presence on the national stage. \nHere on the Sunshine Coast three organizations\, the Alliance 4 Democracy\, the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association and the Sunshine Coast Sue Big Oil campaign are joining forces with Seniors For Climate to stage our local inaugural event on Tuesday\, October 1st at the Davis Bay Pier in Sechelt from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm.  \nThe event will feature speakers from each of the sponsoring organizations and music. All three provincial candidates have been invited to address the event: Chris Hergesheimer – BC Greens\, Chris Moore – BC Conservatives and Randene Neill – BC NDP. \nThe goal of Seniors for Climate is to mobilize Canada’s seniors\, who are now 25% of our population and the most significant voting block across the country\, to use our collective power to insist that all of our governments substantially step up the pace to both address the root cause of climate change – the burning of fossil fuels – and mitigate the increasingly devastating and costly impacts of climate change – extreme weather events\, melting ice fields and rising sea levels and adverse health outcomes.  \nContact  \nJef Keighley – Alliance 4 Democracy  \n778 999-1950  \njefkeighley64@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was designated in tribute to Indigenous children stolen from their homes and taken to residential schools by the Government of Canada. To honour the innocent children who never returned home\, the Survivors who suffered enduring trauma\, their families and communities. \n  \nIn Canada\, 140 federally run residential schools operated between 1867 and 1996. Survivors and allies have advocated for decades for recognition and reparations\, and demanded accountability for the intergenerational impacts of harm caused to Canada’s indigenous peoples by our government\, the RCMP and religious institutions. \n  \nSeptember 30th has been observed since 2013 as Orange Shirt Day\, a grassroots movement recognizing the colonial legacy of residential schools\, committed to the ongoing process of reconciliation. Orange Shirt Day recalls the experience of residential school Survivor Phyllis Webstad\, who at six was stripped of her shiny new orange shirt on her first day attending the St. Joseph Mission Residential School near Williams Lake\, BC. The date of September 30th was chosen because it was the time of year when Indigenous children were removed from their families and forced to attend residential schools. \n  \nThe syiyaya Reconciliation Movement is a local initiative led by shishalh nation\, that welcomes all people living on the shishalh swiya (homelands) to come together to work together as one\, to heal intergenerational harm done to First People by Canada’s history of cultural genocide and abuse in residential schools. The word ‘syiyaya’ literally means “family and friends” in shashishalhem\, the language of the shishalh people. \n  \nLearn more about Truth and Reconciliation through the resources linked below: \n\nsyiyaya Reconciliation Movement\nReconciliation Canada\nTruth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada\nLearn about the history of colonization from an Indigenous lens

SUMMARY:Public Hearing to consider the Zoning Amendment Bylaw for Riparian Areas
DESCRIPTION:Support Riparian Area & Shoreline Protections in the SCRD \nThe Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) has more kilometres of shoreline and more steep flashy creeks than many local government regions in BC. \nManaging and mitigating impacts caused by land clearing\, development and climate change in the SCRD\, is a huge and expensive job.  \nGrowing impacts of drought\, flooding\, land slides\, washouts\, rising sea level and erosion on private and public\, natural and engineered infrastructure are mounting. Downstream communities\, habitats\, species\, local governments and taxpayers carry the heavy burden of dealing with these impacts.  \nThe cheapest\, most effective and fairest way to mitigate impacts and costs is to take every possible step to protect and restore natural assets. Especially for lands that surround\, store and protect water! \nThat is why\, the SCRD has initiated the process to amend its Zoning Bylaws to strengthen protection of riparian areas.  \nOn July 4th the SCRD will host a Public Information Meeting about why these bylaw updates are crucially needed. On July 16th\, there will be a Public Hearing on the Bylaw update. Between now and the end of the Public Hearing\, the SCRD needs our feedback to support these important updates.  \nWe encourage all of our members and supporters to engage in this public hearing process and support the bylaw amendments. \nBylaw Updates \nThis Riparian Areas bylaw update includes three key changes:  \nSetbacks: Property setback requirements will be amended to meet Provincial Best Practices. \nBuffer Zones: Buffer zones will be added to the riparian areas to prevent building too close to sensitive areas. (Gardens would still be allowed within the buffer zone.) \nLot Area: New lots created through subdivision will be required to meet minimum lot size requirements that exclude riparian and buffer areas. This will ensure all new lots are developable\, protect private property and public assets from flooding and erosion\, and help maintain healthy watercourses.

SUMMARY:Public Information Meeting regarding Riparian Area Bylaw Amendments
DESCRIPTION:Support Riparian Area & Shoreline Protections in the SCRD \nThe Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) has more kilometres of shoreline and more steep flashy creeks than many local government regions in BC. \nManaging and mitigating impacts caused by land clearing\, development and climate change in the SCRD\, is a huge and expensive job.  \nGrowing impacts of drought\, flooding\, land slides\, washouts\, rising sea level and erosion on private and public\, natural and engineered infrastructure are mounting. Downstream communities\, habitats\, species\, local governments and taxpayers carry the heavy burden of dealing with these impacts.  \nThe cheapest\, most effective and fairest way to mitigate impacts and costs is to take every possible step to protect and restore natural assets. Especially for lands that surround\, store and protect water! \nThat is why\, the SCRD has initiated the process to amend its Zoning Bylaws to strengthen protection of riparian areas.  \nOn July 4th the SCRD will host a Public Information Meeting about why these bylaw updates are crucially needed. On July 16th\, there will be a Public Hearing on the Bylaw update. Between now and the end of the Public Hearing\, the SCRD needs our feedback to support these important updates.  \nWe encourage all of our members and supporters to engage in this public hearing process and support the bylaw amendments. \nBylaw Updates \nThis Riparian Areas bylaw update includes three key changes:  \nSetbacks: Property setback requirements will be amended to meet Provincial Best Practices. \nBuffer Zones: Buffer zones will be added to the riparian areas to prevent building too close to sensitive areas. (Gardens would still be allowed within the buffer zone.) \nLot Area: New lots created through subdivision will be required to meet minimum lot size requirements that exclude riparian and buffer areas. This will ensure all new lots are developable\, protect private property and public assets from flooding and erosion\, and help maintain healthy watercourses.

SUMMARY:Seafloor garbage in the Salish Sea: Taking out the Trash
DESCRIPTION:Join our final NEMO talk in the series where Susan Anthony will talk about the unseen underwater trash that fills up nearshore environments. \nHuman-made debris enters the water and disappears below the surface. There it stays\, smothering the sediment and its organisms\, leeching pollutants\, and breaking into smaller and smaller pieces\, but never going away. SeaChange and its partners have spent the last decade restoring and conserving nearshore habitats\, which includes underwater debris removal. \n“I am a passionate and curious scientist\, natural historian\, and conservationist. I have a BSc from the University of Victoria in Biology with a minor in Ocean Sciences”\, Susan Anthony. \nRead more about this event on our Sunshine Coast Ocean Festival website. \nZoom link for all NEMO talks here. \nMeeting ID: 818 3759 1199 \nPasscode: 147467 \nPhoto Credit: Susan Anthony

SUMMARY:Watch Patrick and the Whale
DESCRIPTION:Using stunning underwater footage\, Patrick explores the fascinating nature of the sperm whale\, attempting to shine a light on its intelligence and complexity\, as well as highlighting its current and past relationship with humankind. \n  \nAn inspiring and engaging tale of Patrick Dykstra and a sperm whale “Dolores.” \n  \nFor years\, Patrick Dykstra has dedicated his life to traveling the globe\, following and diving with whales. Over the years\, Patrick has learned how whales see and hear\, how they perceive other creatures in the water and how they behave at close quarters. He has a finely tuned sense and knows how to act when within touching distance of a whale – what to do\, what not to do and when. This allows him to consistently get closer than anyone else alive – a truly unique skill. \n  \nPatrick recently experienced a life-changing event. In Dominica\, he had a close encounter with a female sperm whale. She seemed to be curious about him\, coming within touching distance\, pulsing him with her sonar. She studied him as he studied her. Patrick felt an overwhelming sense that she was genuinely trying to communicate. \n  \nWe follow Patrick as he travels to Dominica again to find this special whale he named “Dolores” so she can help him show us the hidden world of her species. Using stunning underwater footage\, Patrick explores the fascinating nature of the sperm whale\, attempting to shine a light on its intelligence and complexity\, as well as highlighting its current and past relationship with humankind. The film follows his personal journey and explores the psychology of a man who has sacrificed everything in his single-minded quest to connect with and understand one of the the biggest creatures in the ocean. \n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nDetails \n📍 Sunshine Coast Arts Centre \n🗓 Sunday June 2\, 2024 \n⏰️ 7pm (doors at 6:30pm) \n📽 Admission by donation
