2013 FALL CALENDAR

The best ideas take time to develop. Transforming your outlook on life, changing your career path, developing a skill, learning something new or just trying to make sense of the world—all these things take attention, dedication, practice, a willingness to explore unknown territory and challenge old ideas. Continuing Studies at UVic is a resource that enables you to explore possibilities and develop your own ideas about who you are and the world around you. You’ll enjoy the balance of theory and practice in small classes that offer big experiences. Read about some learner experiences at www.continuingstudies.uvic.ca/studentstories/ Learning that shapes who you are.

Bernini is arguably the greatest sculptor and architect of the Italian baroque period. His work is bold and dramatic and just as often delicate and lyrical. His genius at pulling together painting, sculpture and architecture into an organic whole is often referred to as the unity of the visual arts. This course will examine his work and his life, which was often characterized by murderous rages and jealousies. His great contemporaries will also be considered in order to put his work into the context of 17th-century Rome.

Mimar (Architect) Sinan (d. 1588) was one of the greatest and most prolific architects the world has ever seen. During his career as the Royal Architect of the Ottoman Empire, he built mosques, bridges, schools and many other structures across the empire; many of his well over 300 buildings still stand in what is now Turkey.

The Arts

Sinan’s beginnings as a military engineer in the Ottoman army corps, his correspondence with the Vatican and his lofty goal to transcend the domes created for the churches of the Byzantines are recorded and his biographies provide other professional details. However, it is in his designs, including what he himself considered his masterworks— the Sehzade and the Suleymaniye Mosques in Istanbul, and the Selimiye in Edirne—that we learn the most about his vision, his experimental spirit and his exceptional devotion to architecture as a craft. This presentation includes many visual images of Mimar Sinan’s creations.

A Matter of National Pride

Over the recent centuries, composers of great stature have made it a mission to express their individual understandings of nationhood through the language of classical music. Some have accomplished this so well that their music speaks to the whole of their kinfolk. Some have even gone so far as to define the musical identity for their nation through single works. When the fringes and dominions of Europe struggled to make claim for nationhood, the finest composers stepped forward creating touchstone masterpieces of national pride. In this class we will explore a selection of these masterpiece works, through them discovering what makes each work, each composer and each nation tick. No prior experience in music is required. Instructor: Mary Byrne, PhD, is Head of Woodwinds, Brass and Percussion at the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

The Classical Period: The Laughter and the Tears

The Life and Career of Joni Mitchell

Many people confuse the terms “classical music” and “the classical period.” The former refers to art music in general, while the latter refers to the art music of a specific time period from about 1750 to 1820, typically involving the music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Many also mistakenly view art music as “serious” music, to be appreciated with a certain gravity in sombre concert halls. This is far from the truth. The music of the classical period was written by complicated, multi-dimensional people whose compositions run the entire gamut of human emotions. Come and explore their complex and fascinating lives, and learn how they infused their music with myriad emotional colours, both light and dark, to invoke laughter and tears.

Explore the fascinating life and work of Canadian pop music icon Joni Mitchell (b. November 6, 1943). Mitchell is widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential artists of the late 20th century. Celebrated as a groundbreaking songwriter and guitarist (as well as a visual artist), Mitchell has, during a career spanning almost 50 years, released a remarkably diverse series of albums. Although she considers her music to be “without genre,” it has incorporated elements of folk, pop, rock and jazz to create a truly unique sound. Join Robert Holliston to celebrate Joni’s 70th birthday through a carefully handpicked selection of anecdotes, music, lyrics and video presentations.

Instructor: Lisa Szeker-Madden, PhD, is a music history instructor with the Faculty of Theory and Composition at the Victoria Conservatory of Music. Lisa also writes music-related articles for Focus magazine.

Instructor: Robert Holliston, an accompanist and chamber player, is Head of Collaborative Piano Studies for the Victoria Conservatory of Music and Principal Coach, Pacific Opera Victoria.

The Life and Work of Benjamin Britten NEW

Sir Benjamin Britten (November 22, 1913– December 4, 1976), often considered the first “great” English composer after Henry Purcell, was one of the most individual and gifted of 20thcentury musicians. His catalogue of compositions embraces a wide variety of genres, from piano and chamber music to orchestral works; from song and opera to cantata and sacred choral music. Join Robert Holliston to explore the life and legacy of this elusive genius through readings of the composer’s letters; accounts from his contemporaries; and especially presentations of recordings and videos of the music itself.

Travel Photography: Cultures and Landscapes

While it is the exploration of the various media that offers the excitement of the mark making, the class projects will assist in your understanding of the effects of lighting, volume, structure, texture and space. This will lead to renderings that build on the fundamentals, adding a rhythm and mood to arrive at strong compositions and your own personal creative expression in mark making.

Travel photography is so much more than just well-known landmarks and postcard images. It’s finding what’s at the heart and soul of the places you visit, and in this session, we’ll explore what you need to know to understand the nuances of photographing people, and the landscapes of which they’re a part, on your travels—whether close to home or on the other side of the globe— in order to get the best, culturally sensitive, leastintrusive photographs possible.

Too Serious for Comedy? Plays by Shakespeare and by Albee NEW

Measure for Measure and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? have become increasingly admired during the last 50 years in performance, in classrooms and in criticism. Both plays use a comic shape, evoke many laughs and resist treatment. Read, if possible, in a good text. Before 1960, two years before the first production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?—which many believe to be the greatest American drama— Shakespeare’s play was infrequently performed or taught. Since then Measure for Measure has been discussed and performed almost as often as many of his plays, partly because it has such brilliant moments even though it continues to frustrate most audiences. Like Albee’s play, Measure encourages different, sometimes overlapping interpretations. We will consider whether Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, like Measure for Measure, is a true problem play—one where the problems remain far more resonant than their resolutions, which remain superficial or absent altogether.

Professional DEVELOPMENT SEMINARS Data Analytics: Becoming a Data-Savvy Organization NEW

Imagine where your business could go if you had the collected data working for you! For most businesses, this would mean removing the guess work out of decision making, leading to less risk and a richer bottom line. For example, consider how better data could impact a small to medium sized restaurant. Each day the point of sale system collects a treasure-trove of data that, if synthesized correctly, could present endless opportunities for better customer service and improved sales. When planning menu items, data could be used to select ingredients with both a proven track record of customer satisfaction, high return and low food costs. Moreover, sales data, when visualized, tells a much more compelling story about a recent promotion or social media campaign. This seminar will provide participants with skills to make better use of the data their business or organization collects. Participants will learn about the use of high-quality data products and how the use of these products leads to actionable and quantifiable results. Participants are encouraged to “bring” data or find open data for the hands-on portion of the seminar. Participants will explore the basic steps involved in building and executing “data experiments.” Participants will be introduced to both the “art” and the “science” of data experimentation and how to leverage the data to solve business problems with verifiable and actionable results. Instructor: Steve Gidden, BA, is Manager of the HR Information Management Program with the BC Public Service Agency Government of British Columbia. Steve works with government stakeholders in the areas of data administration, meta data management, data warehousing, and decision support/business intelligence (BI). His professional experience includes time as a senior information architect in the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) for the Province of BC and eight years with BC Ferries, where he performed many different roles, including Intranet content manager, decision support/data warehouse analyst, and database administrator. Steve is a graduate of UVic’s Application and Management of Information Technology Program (AMIT) as well as the Certificate Program in Business Administration (CBA).

How an IT Security Program Will Help Your Organization NEW

This seminar is about developing an IT security program that supports your organization and business objectives. The IT security program encompasses all the services and activities that the IT security person, or team, delivers. Without adequate oversight and governance the IT security activities will not align correctly with organization and business requirements. The security function will drift around depending on the wind of the day. A good solution is to run IT security within or through an IT security program approach. Instructor: Richard Barlow, CISSP, has been employed in the provincial government for the past 19 years. Richard graduated from the CBIS program in 1998 and as a student he developed an interest in IT security. In 1996 Richard joined the IT security section of the Ministry of Finance and has since been involved in both security operations work as well as planning and coordination of IT security initiatives and projects. In May of 2004 he was awarded the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) credential. Richard is now the Information Security Officer at the Ministry of Finance.

Jennifer is feature editor of the Comox Valley Record’s About Town publication. In addition, she has taken on a role as coordinator for Active Comox Valley (an initiative of the Comox Valley Regional District), providing public relations, communications and event planning coordination to promote active living in the community.

“This program gave me the credential to step forward and demonstrate new skills to my employer.” “As I started thinking about the kind of work that would inspire me I began searching out job postings that interested me. I made a point of noting the qualifications these jobs required and found that predominantly the jobs that appealed to me required a diploma or degree in public relations or communication. “I appreciated studying by distance—it allowed me to work full time and gain work experience while studying which, as a mature student, was important to me. “I was very impressed with the calibre of instructors in every course, and appreciated the fact that throughout the program each course offered diverse and interesting content from experts in each subject area. In addition to excellent instructors I also found that I learned a lot from my classmates.”

The world-renowned First Peoples, Natural and Human History galleries offer visitors a chance to learn about British Columbia’s past and how it affects the future of the province. As an added bonus, a visit to the current feature exhibition provides a rare look into Antarctic triumph and tragedy. The Royal BC Museum’s feature exhibition Race to the End of the Earth is on until October 14 and recounts the stirring tale of exploration as the Englishman Robert Falcon Scott and the Norwegian Roald Amundsen battle the elements in a race to be the first to reach the South Pole in 1912. The exhibition brings history to life with photographs, original artifacts and includes lifesized re-creations of living quarters. Budding adventurers—ages 8–10—will discover their inner explorer in week-long summer day camps at the Royal BC Museum. In addition to learning about the famous expeditions, kids will also learn about modern science taking place at the pole and spend lots of time outdoors as well. Secure your spot early, as camps sold out last year. The Quest: Antarctic Adventures lectures features BC adventurers who dared to explore the Antarctic. Stretching the limits of their endurance they have each come away with unique experiences and memories they wish to share with you. The Quest speakers include: Adrian Raeside, retracing the footsteps of his grandfather’s 1910 expedition (September 5); and the museum’s own Jana Stefan, who has lived and worked in Antarctica for two seasons, preserving the world’s most remote historic site and the contents of R.F.

Richard the Lionheart and the Crusades NEW

In the High Middle Ages, pilgrimages and crusades energized medieval society to create a time of renewed spiritualism and intellectual ferment. In order to limit aristocratic violence, the Church encouraged changes in the laws involving marriage and inheritance, and religious fervour imbued knighthood with a new code of behaviour. The “cutting-edge” technology of the era resulted in improvements to weapons and castle architecture. This course will focus on the the High Middle Ages and in particular the crusades of the 11th and 12th centuries.

India Unveiled

The next time you eat chicken, wear something made of cotton, do yoga or use a computer, think of India. The first evidence we have of people domesticating chickens and weaving cotton cloth comes from there, as do meditative exercise techniques. And the binary system of ones and zeros that every computer uses is based on the decimal numerical system devised in India around 500 CE. In this course we will explore the absorbing history and culture of this fascinating and somewhat troubled land, which is now being touted as a rising economic superpower. After a brief foray into its historical and socio-cultural background, including the freedom struggle and Gandhi, we will focus on modern and contemporary India, its achievements and the challenges it still faces. We will begin our journey into India with a film and discussion at the first class. This course will be ideal preparation for anyone planning to visit India. Instructor: Chandar S.

Ottoman Greece: A Western Survey

In Pursuit of Knowledge

What We Have Learned from the Human Genome

Please see course description under Ottoman Greece: A Western Survey on page 32.

Designed to acquaint you with UVic faculty and their many areas of interest, this series will introduce you to a wide variety of topics. All sessions include coffee/tea. You may register for individual sessions or receive a discount as follows:

The decoding of the human genome, first reported in February 2000, heralded the beginning of a new era in biomedical research. In this session, Dr. Ishiguro will explore what the past decade of research on our genome has taught us about ourselves and our place in the biological world. Using cancer as an example, the speaker will look at how genomics has contributed to our understanding of the genetic basis of human disease. The prospect of applying genome information for administering personalized or tailor-made medical diagnoses and treatments has received much hype. Dr. Ishiguro will summarize the status of this practice and will also describe recent insights into the organization of our genome, how our genes are controlled, and how their control may be influenced by environmental cues. Progress, of course, is often accompanied by controversy, and the issue of genetic engineering as a means of curing human diseases will also be discussed.

Casablanca: The Best ‘B’ Movie Ever Made

Morning sessions:

NEW

Through the magic of some mysterious chemistry the 1942 film Casablanca seems to get better and better as time goes by. Originally planned as a “B”-level programmer, it became a runaway success in its own time and is one of the most beloved movies of all time. This course will examine all aspects of the film: its compelling script, artful direction and cinematography, its colourful characters and luminous actors, and its transcendent romanticism set in the midst of World War II.

Submarine Mountains and Volcanoes: Exploring the Formation of New Oceanic Crust Fifty years ago the theory of plate tectonics revolutionized our understanding of the internal working of our planet. Suddenly, numerous apparently disparate observations could be explained using one simple theory—that Earth’s surface is made up of two types of plates (oceanic and continental) and that these plates move relative to one another. This talk will focus on what we have learned, and what we are actively investigating, about the processes involved in creating new oceanic crust along the vast array of submarine mountains and volcanoes that span the seafloor. This will include the circulation of seawater through the crust, leading to the formation of “black-smoker” and metal-sulphide deposits. Dr. Coogan will also discuss techniques for geological sample recovery, such as deep-sea drilling and the use of manned and unmanned submarine vehicles.

Afternoon session:

History of the Palestinian–Israeli Conflict General weariness with the seemingly unending cycle of violence between Israelis and Palestinians has reinforced an ahistorical notion of the conflict as an ancient and religious one. By contrast, the discussion presented here seeks to furnish a clearer understanding of what is really a modern territorial contest: two nations, one land. This session focuses squarely on the constant but evolving challenge posed by attempts to partition the relatively small but geographically varied strip of land sitting between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Why has the drawing of borders that separate a Palestinian state from a Jewish state been such an intractable problem over the last century?

What’s New in Social Sciences? Treaty Talks and Private Property: Challenges and Opportunities for Reconciliation on Vancouver Island

The population of Cairo prior to the appearance of the Black Death in 1348 has been estimated at about 250,000 people. Paris in the same period contained only a third of that number and London just a quarter. The power of Venice came not from its size, but from its maritime trade. This port dominated international commerce in the eastern Mediterranean, bringing exotic spices and Middle Eastern manufactured goods to the markets of Europe. Venetian merchants made their homes in Cairo, but the two cities were connected in many other ways. In this workshop speakers will explore the ways in which the arts, architecture and literary traditions of the two cities were mutually enriched through trade, diplomacy, travel and even piracy.

The BC Treaty Process seems to come to our attention in fits and starts, but the overwhelming sense is that it is a process that has mostly failed. Why are treaty negotiations such a challenge on Vancouver Island and what are the prospects for the reconciliation of unextinguished indigenous land rights and private land titles that have, in part, made this so challenging?

Canadian Studies

Diploma and Certificate Programs Why Study Canada? A country as vast, diverse and ever-changing as Canada offers near-limitless opportunities for study and reflection. Multicultural and multilingual, with a unique political, economic and social history, Canada defies easy definitions and continues to fuel debate about its “identity” as a nation. The Canadian Studies Program is designed for fullor part-time local and international students who wish to broaden their knowledge and understanding of Canada. In addition to three core courses in Canadian culture and issues, students may choose from a range of other courses related to Canada offered by the faculties of Humanities, Social Sciences and Fine Arts. Options for study include: • the diploma: a credit program that can be transferred toward an undergraduate degree • the certificate: a shorter, non-credit program • elective courses in Canadian studies Canadian Studies courses can be taken for credit (1.5 units) or for non-credit. Proficiency in English is required. A fee differential applies to international students. For more information about the Canadian Studies program, please contact the program assistant or visit the website:

Introduction to Canadian Culture CS 101 An introduction to the multidisciplinary study of cultural structures and expression in Canada, including such forms as literature, the fine arts, mass media and communications.

Issues and Ideas in Canadian Environmentalism CS 201 This course offers an opportunity to explore how the physical environment of this country shapes the Canadian people. What are the connections between the environment and our sense of identity? How has the environment impacted our culture and how did received notions of wilderness impact our environment? How has Canada’s environment been interpreted and protected, despoiled and worshipped, and what can we learn from this story? In probing the idea of environment as shaper of national consciousness, CS 201 will examine the difference between European and non-western understandings of environment and land use, and theories about how environment has determined our development and Canada’s position in the global environmental movement. The course will look at environmental activism and the meaning of sustainability and environmental justice. Note: This is an online course.

Why Study the Humanities?

SAGE Study Groups

Humanities are those studies created by the human desire for knowledge and understanding of our history, classical traditions, literature, language and philosophy. These studies encompass disciplines that address a variety of needs: to examine the ethical values in our lives, to examine our social responsibilities and to develop intellectually sound ways of reflecting on what it means to be a human being.

September 10 to December 12 Date: Time: Tuesdays, 6:00 to 9:00 pm, and Thursdays, 4:30 to 9:00 pm (with a break from 5:30 to 6:30 pm) Sessions: 28 Code: ASHU101 2013F C01

Studying the humanities increases our appreciation of ideas and of various modes of thinking. It leads to a greater understanding of values within cultural and historical contexts, and can sharpen our skill in formulating our own ideas, developing them coherently and expressing them clearly and effectively. It can help us read “difficult” texts with increased comprehension and powers of analysis. It helps us learn how to learn.

University 201

Who Should Apply?

University 201 is a course for people who have completed at least one of the University 101 or 102 courses. The course runs in all three academic terms, and covers a wide range of different topics on a monthly basis.

The Humanities Diploma Program is designed to meet the needs of those members of the community who wish to follow an integrated course of full- or part-time study in the humanities, and who may need an introduction to university study.

Instructor: Various instructors

Its flexibility will enable you to choose, in consultation with a program and faculty coordinator, a particular topic, theme or area of study and to arrange a selection of day or evening courses directed toward that topic. Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary approaches, in order to make full use of the resources of all humanities departments at the university.

Date: Time: Sessions: Code:

Tuesdays, September 3 to November 26 6:00 to 9:00 pm 13 weeks ASHU201 2013F C01

The main component of SAGE is our study groups. Study groups are not taught by instructors; instead, a facilitator assists in coordinating the presentations of group members and in moderating the discussions. An important aspect of study groups is their small size (maximum 15 participants). Group members quickly get to know each other, and learning takes place in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. There is a limited number of fee waivers available for all study groups. Study groups will also be held at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney. For more information about these groups, call 250-721-7797. Study groups happen through your initiative, so if there is a subject you would love to learn more about and you are willing to facilitate a group, please call Janet McDonald at 250-721-8827. No experience necessary! We provide the training.

David Rogers is an instructor in the Certificate Program in Environmental and Occupational Health (see page 25) Photo by Adrian Lam, Times Colonist; the excerpt from an article by Andrew A. Duffy (May 14, 2013) is reproduced with permission of the Times Colonist

David Rogers sent a transport container loaded with enough gear to handle a massive fuel, oil or hazardous material spill to a liquefied natural gas plant in Kitimat earlier this year. He’s convinced it won’t be the last $100,000 shipment to the north. The president of Sidney-based B.C. Hazmat Management expects his company will be tapped for more materials, training and spill management expertise as the province’s energy industry ramps up. Rogers is also convinced B.C. will see a pipeline carrying Alberta’s oilsands crude to northern ports. “We know there will be a pipeline. We know there will be more tankers. Right now, there are 250 tankers going up and down our coast, and I know

www.LearningThatShapes.ca • 250-472-4694

we will have a spill,” Rogers said. “The Exxon Valdez [in 1989] was the last major spill on our coast. We are well overdue for it.” This year, to recognize him for building the Island’s largest safety training facility, Rogers was named the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year. Rogers, a former Whistler fire chief, is a safety proponent. Even though he has trained hundreds to respond quickly to disaster, he said personal safety comes first. “I’d say when I’m doing training sessions it’s three quarters about how you can be safe and one quarter about how to clean it up,” he said. “There’s nothing we can’t fix for mother nature. We can’t replace arms and legs.”

In view of the success of last year’s pilot project, we are pleased to offer the option to take the whole FLDP100 course (fall and spring semester) in the blended format. It will run concurrently with the regular, face-to-face section of the course. The blended section, offered at the same price as the regular section, is an option for those students who do not have the time to come to campus frequently. It features mostly online components as well as a few (normally five per semester) face-toface sessions on campus to provide the necessary oral communication opportunities.

Aeronautics for Dummies

If you are a white-knuckled passenger who can’t wait to get off the plane and kiss the ground on landing, or are just intrigued or fascinated by flight and aviation in general, this is a series of four non-technical and informal presentations including images and video clips to illustrate the topics being discussed. You may register for individual sessions or receive a discount for the series registration. Instructor: Parvez Kumar, PhD, PEng, graduated with an honours degree in aeronautical engineering from Imperial College, London, England in 1962, after which he was employed in the aeronautics industry in the UK, France and Canada, working on the design of civilian and military jets, as well as helicopters. He also participated in flight testing of a multitude of aircraft, including the supersonic Concorde.

By the Seat of the Pants! This presentation takes us into the dangerous and exciting world of flight testing which test pilots must endure so that we, as future passengers, will be safe when we fly. However, flight testing is a huge team effort involving engineers that have intimate knowledge of the structure and systems that comprise the whole aircraft. Once the prototype has been built and ground tested, the first flight is always the “white knuckle” part of the test program. Will the aircraft perform as predicted? Test pilots must have instincts to tell them when things are not exactly as they were expected. Video clips from real flight tests will be shown.

Date: Time: Fee: Code:

Most of us take flying for granted these days. But in spite of every effort to ensure that aircraft do not suffer catastrophic failures, sometimes accidents do happen. Often they are due to hazards, such as weather and terrain. “Human or pilot error” is often stated as the cause of the accident but when a sequence of undesirable events can overwhelm even the most experienced of pilots, a mishap or crash can occur. This talk will cover aspects of accident investigation and how the lessons learned are applied to future generations of aircraft.

Fasten Your Seatbelts! A Brief Glimpse into the World of Aviation and Aerodynamics Your instructor will provide insight into how aerodynamics affects our daily lives. This is a basic and non-technical introduction to aerodynamics, and the various laws of physics and motion which illustrate how an aircraft flies and is controlled. Supersonic flight will be discussed briefly with reference to the “sonic bang” which we sometimes hear on the ground. Applications of aerodynamics in the industrial world will be illustrated through the design of wind turbines, skyscrapers and cars. Implications for cyclists, skiers and runners will also be examined. Date: Time: Fee: Code:

From the Back of an Envelope! In this session we will look into how aircraft are designed, built and tested. This process goes from the initial concepts sketched on the back of an envelope (akin to da Vinci’s scrapbook!); to the initial design on the drawing board; to the cutting of metal and the construction of the prototype; to the first flight and ironing out of the wrinkles; to the rigorous certification tests, both on the ground and in flight; and finally to full type certification of the aircraft for passenger service. We will also look at the next generation of aircraft.

Restoration Speaker Series 2013 Shades of Green—Managing the Urban Forest Three free lectures sponsored by the Restoration of Natural Systems Program The term “urban forest” has many different interpretations. An urban forest can be remnant forest patches of native trees that remain after urban development, all trees within the boundaries of the city including street trees and backyards, or a food forest where the focus is on fruit and nut trees. An urban forest, regardless of definition, improves the quality of life of the city’s citizens, providing beauty, peace and privacy. The urban forest also improves air quality, conserves energy, moderates stormwater flows and provides homes for wildlife and food for community members. The speakers for this series are three of the organizers for Tree Canada’s 2014 Canadian Urban Forest Conference that will be held in Victoria. Collectively, they will highlight the many ways in which we benefit from the urban forest and ways in which we can better manage this valuable resource. Coordinator: Val Schaefer is the academic administrator of the Restoration of Natural Systems Program. Admission to the following sessions is free, but call 250-472-4747 to register so we can guarantee you a space.

City of Victoria Urban Forest Master Plan Stewardship of Victoria’s urban forest involves more than simply replacing one tree with another. Trees in cities require special care and planning as they are often constrained by streets and sidewalks, buildings, utilities, and the demands of vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Victoria’s 2013 Urban Forest Master Plan describes a vision for the future of Victoria’s urban forest, and provides strategies to achieve that vision. Join us to hear about the details of the urban forest vision. Instructor: Jeremy Gye Date: Thursday, October 10 Time: 7:00 to 8:30 pm Sessions: 1 Code: ASER900 2013F C01

Saanich Urban Forest Strategy The District of Saanich adopted the Urban Forest Strategy in 2010. The strategy provides a longterm plan for achieving a sustainable urban forest in Saanich.

the strategy and will highlight the specific organizations and projects that are encompassed by the plan. Instructor: Cory Manton Date: Thursday, October 17 Time: 7:00 to 8:30 pm Sessions: 1 Code: ASER900 2013F C02

Victoria’s Food Forest Food forests can exist in many forms and provide food, fibre, fuel and medicine. Urban food forests also face challenges such as the long-term maintenance of the trees, potential hazards for cars and cyclists created by fruit and nuts on roads, and land use conflicts for the space required for the trees. This presentation will discuss the ins and outs of food forests and the ways that food forests are finding a home in Victoria.

Not only will it give you a different view of the world through the culture to which that language belongs and make your travels more rewarding, but it will also give your brain a healthy challenge that can offset the effects of aging.

Balkans Odyssey … with four nights in Vienna Join us on this three-week tour to the fascinating Balkans region of Europe, where east meets west and ancient meets modern. In addition, at the end of the tour you will have a four-night stay in Vienna. We’ll explore medieval towns, Roman ruins, the stunning Dalmatian Coast, Plitvice National Park and much more.

We begin our tour with three nights in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, including an excursion to Plovdiv to visit its medieval, Roman and Ottoman sites. From there we have an overnight stop in the modern capital of Macedonia, Skopje, before heading to the beautiful town of Ohrid, a UNESCO heritage site located on the lake of the same name. Next we cross into Albania, stopping in Tirana en route to the capital of Shkoder.
