SUMMARY:Volunteer for Forage Fish Sampling - Soames Beach February 20th
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join our community science initiative! \nJoin us for our February forage fish sampling days on the Sunshine Coast. \nLast month\, two fish eggs were discovered during sampling at Soames Beach\, a rare and exciting find that may indicate active spawning habitat. These small discoveries help us better understand and protect the coastal ecosystems that support salmon\, seabirds\, and marine life. \nNo experience is required. Volunteers will be guided through the sampling process on site. Please dress for the weather and be prepared for walking on the beach. \nSampling dates and locations: \nSoames Beach (Gibsons) – Friday\, February 20\, 2026 at 2:00 PM\nMap link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nCa55gfXa3WfwGKb6 \nPlease RSVP Dianne Sanford at 604-741-1029 or email diannesanford@gmail.com if you would like to attend.

SUMMARY:INCANDESCENCE Film Screening & Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Mar 18\, 2026 | 7:00 PM PDT\nRoberts Creek Community Hall\n1309 Roberts Creek Road\, Roberts Creek\, BC\nBy-donation community screening \nINCANDESCENCE (directed by Nova Ami & Velcrow Ripper\, 2024\, 104 mins.)\nEvery summer\, wildfires increasingly ravage places around the globe\, darkening the skies with thick smoke and reducing communities to little more than ash and debris. Award-winning directors Nova Ami and Velcrow Ripper weave together immersive on-the-ground footage with first-person accounts from Indigenous Elders\, first responders\, and ordinary people forced to react to a rapidly evolving ecosystem. As climate change continues to escalate\, full suppression measures have largely failed\, leading to bigger\, more intense mega-fires. But there is another way. Indigenous knowledge keepers explain that the First Nations people traditionally used controlled burns to regenerate the land. Honouring the experiences of both human and non-human inhabitants\, the film transforms our understanding of fire from destruction and disaster into a profound illumination\, lighting the way towards new life and hope. \nTrailer: https://youtu.be/e17xBip25Xs  \nThis event is presented by the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association and Rhizome Up! Media. \nFollowing the screening\, we will host a panel discussion featuring: \nNova Ami and Velcrow Ripper – FilmmakersCraig Moore – President of Rider VenturesDr. Lori Daniels – Professor\, UBC Faculty of Forestry & Environmental StewardshipLogan O’Reilly – Researcher\, Fire and Ecosystems Research Lab (UBC)\, based on the Coast \nEach guest will offer brief remarks\, followed by an open question-and-answer session with the audience. \nWe typically schedule one hour for the post-film program. If the discussion is robust\, the evening may extend until approximately 10:30 PM. \nThis is an opportunity to engage directly with experts and practitioners working at the intersection of forest ecology\, wildfire science\, community resilience\, and climate change. \nNo pre-registration is required. All are welcome.
