Trades & Technology Career Fair

This one-day career fair is a great forum for schmoozing and socializing with students from the business program at the Interurban Campus. Things get underway at 9:30 am with exhibits and networking until 2 pm. Employer presentations will be taking place from 10:30 am until 1:30 pm from exhibitors like AbeBooks, BC Transit, Engineered Air, and VIATeC, amongst several others. The Technologies Centre in the CBA building at the Interurban campus will be the scene of the crime and a visit to camosun.ca will enable you to register for this lively event. It’s time to get busy!

Healthy Youth Today, Healthy World Tomorrow

Dionne Warwick isn’t the only one who firmly believes that children are the future, and this conference proves it! With keynote speakers like Hannah Taylor (founder of the Ladybug Foundation), renowned researcher Dr. Bonnie Leadbeater, and a gaggle of other guests, this forum, geared towards improving the health of youth, is shaping up nicely. Sponsored by UVic’s Centre for Youth and Society, this free two-day event is taking place at the Harbour Towers Hotel. A quick perusal at youth.society.uvic.ca will get you registered and ready to go. Let’s teach our children well and let them guide the way.

Feb. 13 and Feb. 14

Victoria Tea Festival

If tea is your cup of tea, then the 4th Annual Victoria Tea Festival will have you steeping in glee. There’s plenty on display for tea enthusiasts to enjoy. Not only can you enjoy a wide selection of teas, this event goes far beyond trade-show expectations. With over 50 exhibitors, demonstrations, workshops, snacking, and entertainment abounding, this event is well attended with good reason. Proceeds for the festival help Camosun’s Childcare Services, for this is their flagship fundraiser for the year, so support them. The Crystal Gardens provides the setting for all the exhibits and presentations over the weekend-long celebration and a visit to victoriafestival.com will supply additional information. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Time to get the kettle on!
