See you there! (And if you go, come find us and say hello.)
Chargers revamp for September
The Camosun Chargers are set to launch a new site and a new look in September, along with some other fun events. On September 27, they’re having their first athletic scholarship and hall of fame dinner from 5:30 to 9 pm at Laurel Point Inn; this event is a fundraiser for student-athlete scholarships and hall of fame recognition. Then, the next day, check out the Chargers’ 20th anniversary alumni celebration over at the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence. The new Chargers logo and mascot will be unveiled at this reunion and celebration. Check out their site for more info on these events: it’s camosun.ca/sports/chargers, and it’s going to be re-launching with a new look on September 3.
Chargers represent
Veteran Camosun Chargers women’s volleyball middle Morgan Marshall was recently named to the 20U Team BC Women’s Volleyball squad. Marshall, along with three coaches from the Chargers, recently went to Sherbrooke, Quebec, to participate in Canada’s Summer Games with Team BC. Team BC came home with the silver medal in women’s volleyball, losing the gold in a 3Đ2 set to Alberta.
Registration race
It is kind of a race, that’s not just being alliterative for no reason. Some programs and courses starting in September at Camosun still have space in them, and it’s first-come first-serve, so head over to camosun.ca to check out programs, courses, and continuing education classes today.

Women’s Sexual Assault Centre moves
The Victoria Women’s Sexual Assault Centre recently purchased office space at #201Đ3060 Cedar Hill Road. They were able to get this new space to provide their counselling and prevention services thanks to donors. The new location also houses the Victoria Women’s Transition House. As well, the Victoria Women’s Sexual Assault Centre has announced they will be changing their name to the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre. The centre is currently located at 620 View Street and will be moving on August 28 and 29 (it will be closed on those days). See In Search of Lost Time on page 10 for more information on the move and name change.
Foundation suspended
The Capital Regional District (CRD) recently issued several suspension notices to the Central Saanich-based Foundation Organics composting facility. According to a CRD press release, “this will result in a significant decrease in organic material being delivered to the Foundation Organics facility and is anticipated to have a positive impact on operational concerns with the facility.” Continued non-compliance, the press release says, will end up with the business’ operating licence being suspended.
