Hosted by Tsimka Martin and Jeanette Sheehy. The workshop is welcoming and supportive for non-Indigenous people aiming to make change, show up well, and work toward right relationship with Indigenous people, communities, and Nations. Together we’ll look at the systems and structures we live within – settler colonialism – and how it functions both structurally (laws etc.) and interpersonally, and the resulting power dynamics and imbalances. Grounded in this awareness, we will talk about settler responsibilities and map existing and potential pathways toward right-relationship.

Indigenous people are more than welcome to attend, knowing we will be discussing the world as it is, including descriptions of colonial violence and focusing on the settler responses and feelings that maintain these systems. This workshop is rooted in hope and the possibility of a more loving and just world.

Step into a magical world with your Naturalist guide.

Step into the dynamic world where land meets sea.

Join us for a one-hour guided walk along the shoreline at Big Beach (Matterson and Marine Drive).

This family-friendly program welcomes all ages.

Winter storms bring new treasures ashore each day — freshly washed seaweeds, shells, driftwood, and other signs of ocean life. Learn how these materials tell the story of the coastal ecosystem. You may find long ribbons of bull kelp, one of the fastest-growing seaweeds on Earth, growing up to 30 feet deep here. Bull kelp forests are vital marine habitats, providing shelter and food for fish, sea stars, and crabs.

Along the trail, notice the salal bushes that fringe the shoreline — hardy coastal plants with waxy leaves that help them withstand salt spray and wind.
Discover how wind, waves, and wildlife shape this ever-changing shoreline — and why storm season is one of the most exciting times to explore.

Join Wild Pacific Trail for hands-on, nature-themed activities that change weekly. Colouring and puzzles too! Learn how flora and fauna thrive on our wild coast.

ABOUT THE FILM

Plastic People by Ben Addelman, Ziya Tong / Canada / 2024 / 1h24 / English

The award-winning feature documentary Plastic People investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health. Almost every bit of plastic ever made breaks down into “microplastics.” These microscopic particles drift in the air, float in all bodies of water, and mix into the soil, becoming a permanent part of the environment. Now, leading scientists are finding these particles in our bodies: organs, blood, brain tissue, and even the placentas of new mothers. What is the impact of these invisible invaders on our health? And can anything be done about it?
