SUMMARY:Peninsula Players Presents: Halfway There
DESCRIPTION:Adults $30\nSenior/Student $25 \nThere’s no such thing as a secret in Stewiacke\, Nova Scotia. Not when the gossips meet for coffee every day at the local diner. Vi\, Rita\, Mary Ellen\, and Janine are all as close as can be\, and they know everybody’s business. But when Sean\, a heartbroken doctor\, moves in to take a temporary job at the clinic\, he tips the Maritime town that’s famous for being halfway between the North Pole and the equator off its axis. This feel-good comedy from the most-produced playwright in Canada will envelop you in a familiar warm hug that shares the relief of finding your people. \nContent Warning: This show contains references to sex\, the death of a child and drinking and may not be suitable for all audiences.

SUMMARY:St Paul's presents – Angela Verbrugge
DESCRIPTION:St Paul’s United Church (Malaview Ave\, Sidney) presents an afternoon of vocal jazz with Angela Verbrugge\, a critically acclaimed songwriter and highly entertaining musical artist.  She wowed our audience last year! \nAngela Verbrugge caught listeners’ ears with her debut album (released on NYC’s Gut String Records) and she won this year’s JazzTimes Readers’ Poll in the female jazz vocalist category. The magazine’s review of her album describes that Angela\, who takes inspiration from vintage musicals\, the swing era\, blues\, and bebop\, has “conspicuously good taste”. Toronto Music Report writes that she is “a gem of a vocalist who makes all her chosen material sound magical. Her song-writing collaborations have received features in JAZZIZ Magazine. JazzWeekly describes the former actress as “fun and quirky\, hip and a hoot\, wispy and romantic; she slithers and oozes\, and cleverly swings.”\nhttps://angelaverbrugge.com/\n \nDoors open at 1:30pm.\nVenue: St Paul’s United Church 2410 Malaview Ave\, Sidney BC V8L 2G3\nFree parking on site and wheelchair accessible.\nTickets: $25.

SUMMARY:Victoria Cross Country Tour
DESCRIPTION:Between 21-31st May we will be hosting our 8th Annual Cross Country Tour. This year\, we will showcase 120 guest speakers across 30 Canadian cities made possible by a team of over 300 volunteers. On May 22nd\, 2024 we will bring our tour to Victoria. Our event will be hosted at The Victoria Flying Club. \nThe Elevate Aviation Cross Country Tour empowers youth to consider a career in aviation through inspirational presentations and behind the scenes tours by women in aviation. Each tour day is free of charge and features incredible guest speakers\, lunch\, and behind the scenes tours of the airport. Participants will hear from pilots\, air traffic controllers\, aerospace engineers\, aircraft mechanics\, and other aviation professionals. \nWe are inviting students between the ages of 12-18 to participate in this unique opportunity\, as we believe that introducing young people to the wide range of career opportunities available in aviation is an important step in increasing diversity and representation in the industry. \nFor the Victoria stop we are specifically touring the Victoria Flying Club\, and the BC Aviation Museum.
