All are welcome to join us in the downstairs Community Hall for coffee, tea, and conversation!

All are invited to come meet the candidates for Oak Bay city council. Oak Bay residents will have the opportunity to directly talk to and ask questions of the candidates for the upcoming municipal election in an informal “trade show” atmosphere. There are two candidates for Mayor and nine for Councillor.

Entry to the Community Hall is via the level ground Granite St entrance (east of the main entrance ramp).

Sponsored by the Community Association of Oak Bay, this event supplements the Community Association’s all-candidates meetings at Oak Bay High on Oct. 1 and 8 (also at 7 pm). For more information on these and other events, please visit the Community Association’s website.

“Each of the world’s religions may seem foreign to ‘outsiders,’ but to an ‘insider,’ each represents a means by which both a particular society and creation as a whole can be understood more completely.”

Our adult study series this fall is an opportunity to come and explore another six of the world religions, and to learn more about faith in our neighbours. Each week will begin with a prayer from the tradition that is being focussed on, and participants will have an opportunity to share with one another their past experiences with that faith tradition. We will then view a video together that explores the history, texts, traditions and holidays of each faith, and end with some questions to think about and reflect upon. The hope is that as we explore some of the major religions of the world, we will gain a renewed understanding of the diverse world around us and of each other as human beings. Come and learn more about other faiths. All are welcome! The study group will meet Wednesdays in the Community Hall from 5-7 pm. Each session in stand-alone, so you do not need to attend all of them.

• September 23 Shinto

• October 7 Confucianism & Taoism

• October 14 African & African American Religion

• October 21 Religions of Small Societies

• November 4 Scepticism & Religious Relativism

Calling Crafters of All Ages and Stages!

All are invited to an hour or more of intergenerational fun and fellowship! Following the service on the second Sunday of every month, bring a handwork/crafty activity of any sort to the Community Hall to work on it while spending time with friends (or making new friends!).

In the interest of safety and sound levels, we ask that you not bring any power tools.
