SUMMARY:Danny Michel Performance
DESCRIPTION:The only good thing about not shopping in record stores like we used to is that you don’t have to figure out what genre to look for Danny under. If that were the case\, you could try searching under rock\, pop\, folk\, world\, or even classical. His own self-described musical A.D.D. has kept his music fresh for decades. \nMaybe it has something to do with being born next to a candy factory\, but his thoughtful lyrics and charming performances have earned him a devoted fan base\, multiple Juno nominations\, Polaris Prize nominations\, CBC’s Heart of Gold award\, and wins for the CFMA’s Producer of the Year and Oliver Schroder Pushing the Boundaries awards. \nHis adventurous musical spirit has led him on unique journeys\, from recording and touring with The Garifuna Collective (from Belize) to recording an album aboard a Soviet-era icebreaker in the Arctic while on an expedition with astronaut Chris Hadfield. Albums like Matadora and Khlebnikov explore themes of human connection\, the environment\, and the cosmos. \nBeyond music\, Danny is passionate about social causes. He founded the DM Ocean Academy Fund to support a non-profit high school in Belize. His charm\, creative performances\, and wide-ranging interests have made him a beloved figure not only in music but also in charitable and environmental circles. This has led to unique performances\, including playing at Jane Goodall’s 85th birthday\, David Suzuki’s 75th\, and touring with Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Cafe. \nHis latest album\, Ghost Town\, is a deeply personal and vulnerable collection of songs born from the pandemic\, showcasing his most introspective work to date.

SUMMARY:Scientist-in-Residence: The Changing Coastal Ocean
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, February 17\, 2026 \nTime: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm \nJoin our Scientist-In-Residence Dr. Sophia Johannessen for an illustrated talk about… \nThe Changing Coastal Ocean \nFind out what is happening in your local ocean! The coastal ocean is changing\, as a result of both global climate change and local pressures. This talk will show how BC’s coastal ocean is responding and discuss how removing some local pressures can help the ecosystem to be resilient to global-scale change. \nDr. Sophia Johannessen is a geochemical oceanographer at Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Institute of Ocean Sciences in North Saanich. She studies the effects of climate change and other human activities on the coastal ocean. Her recent projects include studies of the change in productivity in the Salish Sea\, the fate of diluted bitumen spilled in BC coastal waters\, and the potential for “blue carbon” storage in seagrass meadows for climate change mitigation. She works mainly in the coastal waters of British Columbia\, but she has also worked in the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans and most recently in the coastal waters of Antarctica.
