SUMMARY:Barracuda
DESCRIPTION:Barracuda are from Vancouver BC\, the city where Heart was fully formed and recorded their first two albums. Combining all of Heart’s greatest hits from rockers to ballads but also covering Led Zep material which Heart did and still does. In fact they were nicknamed Little Zep. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLed by four octave powerhouse vocalist D.L. Car; who is an Ann Wilson purist vocally and she also plays flute and acoustic guitar. Both Roger Fisher\, Heart’s original lead guitarist and co-songwriter\, and his brother Michael\, Heart’s sound -tech\, manager and Ann’s boyfriend who the song Magic Man was written about have both gone on record stating that D.L. Car is vocally the closest to Ann Wilson they have ever heard and they have seen many! Roger has made guest appearances with Barracuda many times over the past 10 years. \nBarracuda searched far and wide for a perfect Nancy Wilson persona\, and found the perfect candidate in Sarah Moon who resides in Portland OR\, Sarah brings her musical talents along with a physical presence to the stage.

SUMMARY:Virtual Gardening Series: Gardening Under Cover
DESCRIPTION:Gardening under cover is an important strategy for maintaining our food gardens in a changing climate by mitigating extremes in all gardening zones. Protecting ornamentals (especially those\, like berries and trees\, that are edible) cannot be ignored either\, for they feed the pollinators and protect the birds and small wildlife\, and help maintain a healthy landscape. \nIn this seminar we’ll explore how to judge the parts of the landscape that will benefit most\, how to use a variety of covers and weather mitigators\, how to use or modify existing structures\, and what materials to use. We’ll forucs on simple\, cost-effective\, recycled & DIY materials\, and strategies as well as discussing a few more elaborate systems. Hands out will be provided for registered participants\, and a Q&A will follow. \nThis is a FREE course that will take place virtually on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Sam George & Jill Goldberg - The Fire Still Burns
DESCRIPTION:Learning with Syeyutsus Speaker Series \nThe crimes carried out at St. Paul’s Indian Residential School in North Vancouver scarred untold numbers of Indigenous children and families across generations. Sam George was one of these children. Sam’s story follows his childhood growing up on the Eslhá7an (Mission) reserve to St. Paul’s\, where he weathered physical\, emotional\, and sexual abuse. Sam spent much of his life navigating the effects of this trauma – prison\, addiction\, and challenging relationships – until he found the strength to face his past. Now an Elder and educator with the Indian Residential School Survivors Society\, Sam shares his harrowing story\, in his own words. An ember of Sam’s spirit always burned within him\, and even in the darkest of places he retained his humour and dignity.
