SUMMARY:Exhibit: Dinosaurs of BC at the Courtenay and District Museum
DESCRIPTION:Dinosaurs of BC\, a travelling exhibit produced by the Royal BC Museum\, is now on display at the Courtenay and District Museum. \nDig into prehistoric British Columbia and get up close and personal with “Buster”\, the Iron Lizard of the Sustut River\, and the other dinosaurs that once roamed the province’s highest peaks\, densest forests and most remote river basins. Through research done by the Royal BC Museum’s palaeontology team\, we’re learning just how many ancient creatures once called these lands home. \nFollow the footsteps of tyrannosaurs and ankylosaurs\, see beautifully preserved marine fossils and meet the BC-born and bred Buster\, our reigning resident ferrisaurus. \nDinosaurs of BC initially debuted at the Royal BC Museum in 2023 and was met with an overwhelmingly positive public response. \n“The Courtenay and District Museum team is thrilled to welcome the Dinosaurs of BC exhibit from the Royal BC Museum\, and to invite the public to discover ”Buster” and other dinosaurs that reflect the diversity of British Columbia’s ancient life. This\, along with the Courtenay and District Museum’s palaeontological holdings\, including the 80-million-year-old elasmosaur\, now British Columbia’s official fossil emblem\, will give visitors a rare and exciting experience in exploring BC’s vast fossil record” says Deborah Griffiths\, Executive Director at the Courtenay Museum.

SUMMARY:Artful : The Poets Incubator Session
DESCRIPTION:This month the feature poet spot will be shared by three island poets. The evening will be hosted by Natalie Nickerson and an open mic will follow the feature poets. \nElisha Almeida’s poetry is inspired by being with the river\, trees\, soil\, and plant kin. She writes about heart and ancestral re-connection. She attempts to describe the journey of soul that is tender\, intimate and evolving. She finds writing to be soul’s balm and is relieved when the words have found paper. She has been revelling in human connections lately\, especially communal song spaces that bring her heart joy. \nAuthor Micki Findlay is a long-time resident of Vancouver Island. She focusses primarily on writing memoir-based stories and poetry in hopes of helping others recognize their self-worth and find hope through difficult circumstances. She also writes to heal herself. \nMicki’s writing has been published in Chicken Soup for the Soul\, Van Isle Poetry Collective\, Black Press Media\, various magazines including Oasis Life and EyesOnBC\, and several anthologies such as\, Back The Way We Came by The Memory Keepers\, Crone Rising by Jazz House Publications\, and Grateful by Quillkeepers Press. \nTwo of her poems received awards\, and her story\, Too Late\, was a finalist in the Women on Writing 2024 non-fiction writing contest. Several of her poems were recently accepted for Poetry on the Big Screen at the 2024 Poetry Festival in Perth\, Australia. \nMicki is currently working on an anthology with her writing group and her own memoir-based\, healing journal. Creativity\, collaboration\, and coffee are her love languages. \nErica Keen (she/they) is a multidisciplinary artist based out of Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ territory (Ucluelet) and K’omoks territory (Cumberland). A recent graduate of SFU The Writer’s Studio\, Erica writes poetry and creative non-fiction. Their work can be found in Sea and Cedar Literary and Arts Magazine\, the Comox Valley Collective\, and forthcoming in PRISM International. \n​ \n
