Celebration on Aug. 20 for opening of new skate and bike facilities at Topaz Park
The City of Victoria will host a community celebration to mark the opening of the new skate and bike parks in Topaz Park on Saturday.
“Recreational activities are critical for the health of our community and skate, scooter and bike features like these will help residents of all ages stay active. I invite everyone to join us to celebrate these new additions to Topaz Park together as a community.” This year, Cowichan Valley Arts Council invited 12 poets living on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands to compose poems on themes of interruption, isolation and invigoration.Ekphrastic is Greek for “a description.” An ekphrastic poem is a written description of a piece of art. For this show, the process is reversed — instead of words describing art, art will describe words.
The one-time awards to 11 individuals and 17 organizations, were a part of celebrations for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Organization recipients included Belfry Theatre, Canadian Heritage Arts Society/Canadian College of Performing Arts, Victoria Arts Council and the Victoria Conservatory of Music in Victoria, the Gate House Theatre in Port McNeill and the Ptarmigan Arts Society Music on Pender Island.
