On May 23, the Victoria Community Fridge opened in On May 23, the Victoria Community Fridge opened in Rock Bay. As the name suggests, the project involves an actual fridge that is stocked by the community and is available for anyone who needs it. This project has been in the works since January and grew out of the Community Food Support program. Although the two are separate, they both aim to make food more accessible in Victoria. “Food insecurity has always existed and the pandemic has only exacerbated barriers to people accessing food,” says Wren Shaman, an active volunteer for both projects. “Creating free and accessible food is a really tangible way to take a load off people’s shoulders and strengthen our community.” Story by Sarah Killian // For the full article, head to our website — the link is in our bio. #uvic #victoriabc #yyjbusiness #yyj
Canada West has announced their plans for the 2021 Canada West has announced their plans for the 2021-22 season. After a year without competition, Canada West plans for most sports to be able to return to some semblance of normalcy. Although U Sports has yet to make any announcements regarding the fall, Vikes athletes are excited about the return. The proposed schedules for each sport will be regional-based with schools within the same province being formed into divisions that will play each other in a round-robin format. Some notable exceptions are rugby 15s and men’s soccer. Rugby 15s will see some inter-province competition between B.C. and Alberta schools. Men’s soccer will have a division of schools from Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Full story on our website, linked in our bio! #uvic #victoriabc
The University of Victoria’s Legacy Art Gallery The University of Victoria’s Legacy Art Gallery opened a new exhibit On Beaded Ground for the summer. Showcasing intricate beadwork from 10 Indigenous artists living on the West Coast alongside historical beaded pieces, the collection shatters the understanding of the contemporary versus traditional art binary.  “It reflects the beaders’ connection to land, to animals, to dreams, to history, stories and it’s all relevant today,” said the collection’s head curator and UVic alumna Lorilee Wastasecoot. “We’re still here, we’re still flourishing and taking this beading to another level.” Article by Isabella Kennedy, now live on our site. #uvic #victoriabc #indigenoushistorymonth #indigenousart #indigenousartist
