History in Art NEW The Canadian Masterpieces Series: Lawren Harris
In this new art history series we will embark on an intensive study of major Canadian artists. Sessions will be devoted to the life and works of each individual artist as well as how the work of each artist affected that of the others either directly or indirectly. We will look at the common origins and concerns of these artists as well as the differences in their responses and intention against the backdrop of North American and European art history of the 19th and 20th centuries. Lawren S. Harris, (1885-1970), is best known for his role as founding member and a driving force of the Group of Seven. We will consider his student days in Europe, his commitment to Canada and the arts in particular, his vision of the landscape from Coast to Coast to Coast, his portraits and profound spirituality.

New Canadian Art
In a previous course John Lucas used as his basis the institutional definition of contemporary art: any artistic work created after World War II. In this, an all-new course, the basis will be different: All works shown will be by living artists, reflecting the dynamism of Canadian art across the full spectrum of painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography and filmmaking.

Several newly discovered Carr works as well as critical responses to them will be incorporated into the class discussions.

Architectural Insight: How We Understand Buildings
Music
Masterworks of Symphonic Literature
We are surrounded by buildings: we encounter houses, schools, offices, shops, factories, monuments and parks every day, often without thinking very much about how they function and what they are made from. All works of architecture have a story to tell, whether they are technologically advanced skyscrapers, monumental stone buildings, or simple structures built by the same people who will use them.
Sing! Level I
Limited space is available for the second half of this course, designed to help those interested in improving their knowledge of classical music, and increasing their enjoyment of concerts in the Victoria Symphony’s 2014 Signature and Legacy series. Each lecture focuses on a different program from the new season, including such highlights as music from Mendelssohn’s Reformation Symphony, Brahms’ Piano Concerto no. 1 and Requiem and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. The background to each composition will be discussed. Through listening examples and guided discussion, you will learn to listen more attentively to the elements of form, instrumentation, and style in the selected works. Guest symphony musicians will be invited to share their expertise and offer personal insights into the works we are studying. No previous musical experience is needed to benefit from this course.
NEW
This course will explore the ways in which we create, interact with and respond to architecture. We will start with an introduction to understanding architectural plans and vocabulary, and continue with a look at systems of building, the idea of everyday architecture versus monumental architecture, responses to architecture in other times and places, and our own roles within architectural surroundings. Instructor: Angela Andersen, MA History in Art, is currently working on her PhD dissertation. Her research is focused primarily on the architecture of Islamic societies, and the inter- and intrareligious interactions that take place through architectural sites. For the past twelve years, Angela has been conducting research and fieldwork in Turkey.
Share the joy of singing with other novice singers. You will have an overview of the singing process, developing the basic technical skills of posture, breathing, tone, resonance and diction. This fun, mixed-voice class is for singers who may be preparing to join a choir or who simply love to sing. Many styles of music will be explored, including folk songs, ballads, art songs, musical theatre and basic harmony, through the use of canons and rounds. No previous musical knowledge or experience is required. Instructor: Debra Laprise Two sections; Friday afternoon section: Date:

To Paint with Sound
As the 19th century moved through its first decades, musicians joined the ranks of visual artists and writers in creating works of full-blown romanticism: the tone poem was born. Long before film music and exceeding the bounds of theatre music, composers sought to paint imagery using only the medium of sound. Winds bluster, seas rage, mountains soar, plains stretch to the horizon, heroes take up the fight, and lone figures confront personal demons. It’s all very heady stuff, and it’s all there in the sound! In this class we will explore a selection of these masterpiece works, discovering what makes each work and each composer tick. No prior experience in music is required to enjoy and benefit from this course.

George and Ira Gershwin
It is impossible to overestimate the place George and Ira Gershwin occupy in the history and development of the American popular song. The brothers, sons of Russian Jewish immigrants, absorbed European musical traditions and the vivid colour and clamorous sounds of the New World, blending the disparate elements into elegant musical syntheses. George composed in an astonishing variety of forms, while Ira created poetical lyrics to accompany his brother’s music. This course will explore the lives and work of the Gershwins from their earliest songs to George’s Porgy and Bess and their final years collaborating until George’s early death. The songs of some of their important contemporaries will also be examined. Film clips will be used to illustrate their story and works and there will be a live performance of Gershwin standards.

Are you a fan of music but not a fan of heavy metal? Curious to understand where the Cookie Monster singing, “blast beat” drumming, and downtuned riffing comes from? Gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of one of music’s most diverse and rich, yet consistently maligned genres. Presented in a fun and respectful manner by a life-long metal fan, we’ll cut through the stereotypes surrounding metal and learn about how mainstream North American metal in the ‘80s was a reaction against conservative Satanic Panic attitudes; how European metal in the ‘90s fought against religious norms with church burnings and murders; how metal’s many subgenres each have their own voice and purpose. From grindcore to sludge metal, from death metal to black metal, get a primer on what it all means, how to process it, and, if you’re already a metal fan, get some deeper insight into this most fascinating of genres.

NEW Rumi, Hafiz and the Mystic Poets of Persia
How did a 13th century poet writing in Farsi, the language of Persia, become the best-selling poet of the present day? The poet Rumi was one of several luminaries of a golden age of Persian literature. Along with near contemporaries Hafiz, Khayyam, Attar and Sa’adi, all were steeped in Sufi philosophy, which lends a timeless relevance and meaning to their work. The Sufi’s approach of direct experience and universal wisdom often led to persecution by the ruling clergy, so Sufis turned to poetry to pass on their knowledge, hiding meaning in symbol and metaphor. The class will explore the mystical poetry of these poets (in various English translations) delving into Jelaluddin Rumi’s Mathnawi, Hafiz’s Divan, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Fariddudin Attar’s Conference of the Birds and The Rose Garden of Sa’adi, in relation to Sufi thought and practice.

The employment relationship, whether in a unionized or non-unionized environment, is increasingly governed more by law than by the microeconomic principles well known to labour economists. This course will examine some of the legal principles that, to an ever-increasing extent, govern the employer–employee relationship.

professional development seminar Building a Data Savvy Social Media Program Your business may have embraced the world of social media and built strong online relationships with your customers via Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, and your social media presence is generating a treasure trove of data. Now you need to leverage this information to produce business insights. With the right strategy, tools and an inquisitive mind, you can redefine the way you engage customers, market your goods or services, and pinpoint areas of untapped business potential. This seminar provides the level of insight required to build a social media analytics program that will accurately measure what is critical to the success of your organization. First, we will look at the planning tasks you must undertake as you build out your strategy. Key here is clearly mapping out the objectives of your social media initiatives and how you will use analytics to measure success. Second, there will be an overview of the type of performance measures available. While there are literally dozens available, time will be spent on how to select the right ones for your organization. Third, with a plan in place and performance measures selected, the next step is to look at the technology required to enable the program. This will include an in-depth look at tools offered by industry (i.e., Hootsuite) with hands-on configuration tips and data visualization best practices. Finally, the seminar will demonstrate how to experiment with analytics to measure the success of your social media campaigns. The focus will be on using analytics to measure the reach of your activities, the engagement of your target audience, and the conversion rate of tweets and posts into tangible business results.

Managing Angry Moments: Constructive Use of Anger NEW
The first session will focus on theoretical aspects of anger, anger management, and our cultural beliefs and myths/fallacies about anger as a dangerous or bad emotion. Participants will be encouraged to rethink anger—to embrace it as a healthy emotion that tells us important things about ourselves and the situations we are in—often even providing important clues that we all overlook for fear of appearing aggressive or otherwise unattractive. The second session will shift to the application of a practice model that enables us to remain emotionally regulated when feeling angry—in other words we can feel angry and simultaneously feel in control of ourselves, and our responses to others. By changing our thinking—or at the very least, becoming aware of our thoughts and how they affect our feelings, we are able to manage our feelings and behaviours better. This ultimately

Cardiac Café: What You Need to Know about Women’s Heart Health Many women are shocked to learn heart disease is their number one health threat. Over 80 per cent of women have at least one major risk factor for heart disease, which kills more women than men each year. Heart disease also kills six times more women per year than breast cancer, and more women die from heart disease than from all cancers combined. At this inspiring and interactive workshop, (part cardiology bootcamp and part stand-up comedy), learn about heart attack symptoms that may surprise you, tests and treatments that could save you, personal lessons learned from a heart attack to inspire you, as well as how to understand your own unique risk factors and some heart-healthy ways to address them.

Living Consciously: The Practice of Mindfulness Have you noticed life seems a little out of control lately? Are your body and mind constantly busy? Eastern philosophy teaches us that when we pay attention to what is happening in the present moment, we develop an ability to make more conscious and healthy choices in our lives. This highly experiential course facilitates this innate capacity for living more mindfully and draws upon the work of Jon Kabat Zinn and his mindfulness-based stress reduction program. Enrolment is limited. Instructors: Lynne Mustard began incorporating mindfulness into her life in 1990 and then trained in facilitating Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) at the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre in 2000. She has taught mindfulness privately and in the community for the past 10 years at various locations, including: the BC Cancer Agency, businesses, and at an international psychosocial oncology conference.

Humanities, History, Contemporary Issues Exploring Aging through Film The quality and nature of later life experience is changing and so are attitudes. Canadians are living longer than ever before. Older, healthier adults continue to contribute to society and engage in a variety of meaningful activities, and more and more of us are recognizing this new, emerging vision and experience of old age as our own. The impact of this “longevity revolution” on how we live and understand our lives has far-reaching implications and is being re-examined by governments, researchers, and educators as well as those in the social sciences, arts and humanities.

Film, perhaps more than any other contemporary medium, offers portrayals of old age in a breadth of social contexts providing alternatives to the now-outdated views that equate aging only with decline and age 65 with the end of development. In this course we will explore the central questions: • How is the journey through later life depicted in modern films? • What are the implications of these depictions for modern society? • How do these portrayals relate to the scientific data available on aging and development?
Please visit www.coag.uvic.ca to see the course outline and list of films. Instructors: This course will be taught by an interdisciplinary team of instructors: Dr. Holly Tuokko, Director of UVic’s Centre on Aging and a Professor in the Department of Psychology; Dr. Karen Kobayashi, an Associate Professor in UVic’s Department of Sociology; and Dr. Denise Cloutier, an Associate Professor in UVic’s Department of Geography.

Talking About the Holocaust
The Holocaust was one of the most horrific events of the 20th century and its impact is still felt in many ways today. During the Second World War, the Nazis and their collaborators murdered nearly six million European Jews. This lecture examines the origins, progression, central characters and enduring legacies of the Holocaust, and everyone should be clear at the outset that studying it is deeply upsetting. All of us will likely find ourselves saddened or angered, or profoundly disturbed—and usually all three at once. But the Holocaust is part of world history and this tragedy actually created the world we live in now. It must be remembered in order to fully understand who we are today. This session is appropriate for people age sixteen and older. Instructor: Kristin Semmens, PhD, Department of History, UVic Date:

what was called “Central Promenade Camp.” Some musicians, like Fritz Grundland, were deported to Canadian internment camps.

Included in this presentation will be a performance of a musical work composed during this internment period by Fritz Grundland.
Holocaust Memorialization: A Personal Photographic Essay NEW
The 2012 I Witness Holocaust Field School took a group of UVic students to Europe to study the different ways in which the Holocaust has been memorialized in Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic. In this session, Ray Illsley, a participant of the field school, will present a personal photographic essay that will include his reflections on the difficulties involved in trying to “represent the unrepresentable”, and the motivations for doing so. He will also discuss the uses and abuses of photography in portraying images of death, and will ask if we should continue to view these images, do we become desensitized from continued viewing, and what are the alternatives for a visual record. Instructor: Ray Illsley
The Creation of an Oratorio
Over the course of several years in the mid-1970s Dr. A. Peter Gary composed the oratorio, A Twentieth Century Passion, to address the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust. This monumental musical composition will premiere on April 2, 2014 at the UVic Farquhar auditorium. It will be conducted by Timothy Vernon, the founding artistic director of Pacific Opera Victoria and will feature a full orchestra, a youth choir and an adult choir. Peter Gary began his musical studies at the Franz Lizst Royal Academy in Budapest Hungary. He participated in six master classes with Béla Bartók and trained under master teachers such as Zoltán Kodály and Leó Weiner but his education was interrupted by the horrific events of the Holocaust.

Viking Age Britain
While the word Viking conjures images of fearsome invaders, the reality was far more complex. The peoples of Norway, Sweden and Denmark went on expeditions, raiding and trading. Travelling as far as Constantinople, they occupied Normandy, which was named for them. They established the state of Russia and the earldom of Orkney and became kings of Dublin, the Isle of Man and the Hebrides. In this course we will explore Viking Age Britain: Scotland, Ireland and the north of England. We will examine the society and culture of the period: battling and feuding, farming and feasting, the role of women, societal laws and the concept of honour.

What’s emerging from modern archaeological and anthropological studies along the 6,500 kilometers of jungle, waterways and highlands is a very different story. Until European contact some 500 years ago, the vast regions of the Amazon contained a population of indigenous peoples whose civilization rivaled

NEW Our Changing Understanding of Works by Shakespeare
Sessions: 1 Fee:
Instructor: John Adams is an historian, author and heritage consultant. More information about John’s Heritage Programs is available at www. discoverthepast.com.
When you read or studied Shakespeare, were you told that there was one right interpretation? When you read, did you pay much attention to possibilities for performing? Were you aware how often supposedly faithful productions often deleted many lines? Were you conscious of conventions, the unwritten assumptions that writers and audiences share? Did you emphasize characters or language, plot or ideas? In the last half-century, greater value was accorded to laughter in tragedy, to seriousness in comedy and to the resonance of unresolved problems rather than neat messages. Now directors and scholars of Shakespeare usually aim at the most probable interpretation. We have learned much more about politics, censorship and publishing in Shakespeare’s day. Theatre history no longer relies upon reviews of a single performance. Most texts published before 1978 include inaccurate passages because editors lacked knowledge of changes by copyists and printers, and, in turn, often relied upon theatrical beliefs of the 18th century. In this session, Professor Weil will examine these topics in light of current scholarly emphases and look at how our understanding of works by Shakespeare is changing. He will also include recommendations of lesser-known films of Shakespeare’s works. Instructor: Herbert Weil, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Department of English, University of Manitoba Date:

Two men, middling musicians, are on the run from the mob after witnessing the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. They disguise themselves as women, join an all-girl band and head to Florida. A simple story, but this one is written by the legendary team of Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond; it is directed by Billy Wilder and stars three great farceurs, Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Joe E. Brown. Into this mix is added the spectacular visual effect known as Marilyn Monroe. The result is one of the all-time great movie comedies, perennially on the lists of the best films ever made.

responses to them; and, second, to highlight the Canadian impacts and the responses of the Harper Conservative government. Canada’s place in the global crisis under the Harper Conservatives has been forged and characterized by stages of recognition and policy response from 2008 to 2011. The essence of the Canadian story is the avoidance of a banking crisis due to more conservative and cautious lending practices by Canada’s banks and also some sensible regulatory policy regarding both banks and the mortgage market in Canada. Nonetheless, the biggest deficits in Canadian history were incurred due to the deep recession in Canada, caused mainly by the recession in the US, still Canada’s biggest global market by far.

Beyond “Islamists” and “Secularists”: Critically Rethinking the Significance of Religion within a Transforming Middle East NEW
The Middle East’s current socio-political landscape is being reshaped by ongoing convulsions, including Egypt’s quick succession of regime changes, the Syrian civil war, and less-radical, but also potentially transformative occurrences such as Iran’s 2013 election of President Hassan Rouhani and the maneuverings of Iran’s regional rivals such as Saudi Arabia, Israel and Turkey. As this reshaping occurs, the significance of religion is too often caricatured in a reductive, suspect light. In this talk, Dr. Wender will critique media, policymaking, and scholarly discourses within and outside the region that portray the specter of ”Islamists” hijacking “secularist” Arab uprisings, and deepening “sectarian” conflict. Alternatively, he will propose understandings of religion’s complex presence within the Middle East that both transcend imagined boundaries between religion and secularity, and might help us to imagine new possibilities for humane governance.

Humanities Diploma Program Winner of a National Award of Excellence
SAGE Study Groups 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.
The Humanities Diploma Program has received an Award of Excellence from the Canadian Association for University Continuing Education.
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.
Why Study the Humanities?
There is a limited number of fee waivers available for all 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. 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.
Who Should Apply? 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. 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. For details or to request a brochure, please see www.continuingstudies.uvic.ca/humanities/ or call 250-721-8481.
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.
Medieval Studies
27th Annual Medieval Workshop Saturday, February 1, 2014
Venice and Cairo Spend a full day in two of the most beautiful and prosperous cities of the Middle Ages, settled at the margins of powerful empires, defying prejudice and authority. Islands of culture and wealth, conquered over the desert for Cairo and over the sea for Venice, these two cities write a story of dialogue, art, and trade. In these workshops, we will explore: the former slaves who became rulers under the name of Mameluks; the Jewish community in Cairo; the hostelries for nonMuslims in Egypt; the fashions and trends found at rich Italian merchants; and the friendship between Boccacio and Petrarch in Venice. You’ll discover music from Orient and Occident, performed on Venetian lute and Oriental oud. Most of all, you will be part of the vibrant Victoria community which gathers for the Annual Medieval Workshop. Faculty Coordinator: Hélène Cazes, PhD, Director, Medieval Studies Program, UVic

Science, Nature Birding Basics I: Songbirds This is the first of two birding courses designed to introduce you to the pleasures of bird watching. Part I: Songbirds is an introduction to the birds we see in Victoria in the spring and summer. It will consist of a general introduction to birding, including how to identify birds, and then we will specifically focus on birds we can see in our backyards and on our field trips. The joy of spring is proclaimed in the song of birds so we will learn the skills to identify many of our local species by their songs and calls. In the fall we will offer Birding Basics II: Water Birds. Instructor: James Clowater, BSc, MSc, is an ornithologist and naturalist who specializes in sharing his love of wild things. Dates:

The Joy of Birds
In this session ornithologist James Clowater shares with you his knowledge and love of birds in two distinct visual presentations. Birdsong To listen to a bird’s song is to be more perfectly alive! Celebrate the song of birds with your instructor as he presents an audio-visual exploration of birdsong. Learn about songs and other sounds birds make and the secrets of why and how birds sing. Hear the songs of our local backyard birds and some tips on how to identify them by song. This beautiful one hour presentation includes digital images and video of local birds.
Diving Birds Revealed Diving birds have adapted to forage in an underwater environment that is often dark, dangerous and demanding.

Spring Explorations at Yellow Point Lodge “ The leaders, the laughter, the environment— this has been the most enriching week of my life.” Spring is a meadow of sea blush and camas; mink, otter, hummingbirds, eagles and blue herons pursuing their springtime agendas; the forests fresh and green; the sea alive with birds and sea life—leisurely days of learning, explorations and pleasure. Presenters may include biologists Marc Bell, David Denning, Darren and Claudia Copely; and pianist Bruce Vogt. A visit to Merve Wilkinson’s selective forestry acreage, “Wildwood,” will inspire you. There will be some early morning birding and in the evenings, we’ll call owls, stargaze, enjoy a sing-along, and see computer and microscope videos of the day’s samplings of nature. Tune into the wonder of spring! NEW

Social Justice Studies Diploma in Social Justice Studies We live in a world in crisis, a world facing enormous socio-political and ecological challenges. The Diploma in Social Justice Studies provides critical perspectives on these challenges and on the possibilities for moving beyond unjust and unsustainable ways of life. This interdisciplinary program draws on a wide range of undergraduate credit courses from the Faculties of Humanities, Social Sciences, Human and Social Development and Education. It can be taken as a stand-alone credential or concurrently with an undergraduate degree. Depending on the time you can devote to your studies, the program may be completed on a full-time (1–2 years) or part-time (2–4 years) basis.
Normally, admission to the diploma program requires the completion of at least two years of post-secondary education at a university or college and volunteer/work experience related to social justice. However, if you do not meet this requirement but meet the university’s admission requirements for special access, as specified in the university calendar, you may be considered for admission to the diploma program at the discretion of the program director. There is a one-time program admission fee of $150. Diploma students pay regular tuition fees for program courses. The fee for one 1.5-unit course, for example, is $505.80 plus ancillary student fees. If you are an international student, please refer to the University of Victoria calendar for international fees. This diploma program requires 15 units of coursework: • Core Courses: SJS 100 Introduction to Theories of Social Justice, SJS 200 Introduction to the Practice of Social Justice, and SJS 400A Seminar in Social Justice Studies (4.5 units). Normally, students complete SJS 100 first, but SJS 100 and SJS 200 may be taken in either order, or concurrently. SJS 100 and SJS 200 are interdisciplinary teamtaught courses.

Sustainability, Environment NEW Deepening Our Relationships with Place: A Creative Exploration of Connectedness
Living in an urban centre can challenge people to feel connected to the place where they live. Yet, it is possible for that connection to be experienced anywhere—indoors, outdoors, in wilderness, in urban settings—we do not have to go anywhere to deepen our relationship with Earth. This course will provide participants with an opportunity to explore and express their own connection to place. The class will work both indoors and outdoors, using the arts of drama, movement, poetry, storytelling and collaborative painting to experientially deepen place connections.

Bring on the Apocalypse
Over the last several decades, literature and film have increasingly emphasized the possibility of apocalypse, with two of the most haunting causes—anthropogenic climate change and nuclear fallout—being entirely the result of human intention. The fear of disaster holds all that much more power because we blame ourselves for the crisis. As we head into a period of intensifying climate change, what can we learn from extinction fiction, such as Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake and Nevil Shute’s On the Beach, that might help us imagine a way forward into the crisis, and imagine a way through it? The class will combine lectures, discussion and other activities to explore this topic. Students taking this course may also be interested in ASET010.

Urban Restoration Walks Shades of Green— Managing the Urban Forest Three free restoration walks 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. In all cases, the definitions speak to the importance the urban forest plays in the community. The Capital Region developed within the endangered Garry Oak Ecosystem. The local population has a sensitivity to community gardens, organic farming and edible landscapes that is reflected in the choices of tree species which are planted and cultivated. Local governments pride themselves on creating sustainable communities and trees play an important role in low impact development. This series of three walks will visit three examples of the urban forest and their restoration. Admission to the following sessions is free, but call 250-472-4747 to register so we can guarantee you a space. Instructor: Val Schaefer, PhD, RPBio, Academic Administrator of the Restoration of Natural Systems Program, School of Environmental Studies will lead these one- to two-hour walks. He will be joined by a local expert for each site.

City of Victoria Urban Forest The famous Great Blue Heron Colony next to Douglas Street in the forest of Beacon Hill Park has an interesting history.

Victoria’s Food Forest It is hard to believe when looking at Victoria’s landscape that the city was a major fruit producer for British Columbia in the 1800’s. Remnants of the orchards can still be seen in the yards of many homes. Today there is a renewed interest in creating a food forest within the city as part of a larger strategy promoting food security on Vancouver Island.

centuries of tumultuous history and vibrant culture in an area that is still relatively untouched by tourism, so visit now before it becomes too crowded. 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.

Provence to Paris: A Journey of Discovery through France The Rhône River has played a key role in French history, trade and culture for millennia. We will explore some of the venerable cities, charming towns and idyllic countryside in the valley of the Rhône, and trace its path through time from ancient Rome to the present day. We begin with four days in Lyon--founded by Julius Caesar, and a city which has long maintained its pivotal place as a centre of artistic creativity and innovation. We will explore spectacular vestiges of the Roman city, Lyon’s fascinating Medieval and Renaissance history, and its vibrant cultural life--not forgetting the food and wine for which the area is justly famous! The city’s historical centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998, and offers fascinating strolls through a history which seems just below the surface of the present. A leisurely trip down the scenic Rhône valley leads us past medieval chateaux and slopes lined with vineyards. We will have opportunities for sampling some of the region’s distinguished vintages on our way south. Our base for discovering the sights, history, and people of Provence will be the charming city of Avignon, our home for the next four days. As well as exploring Avignon itself, including the spectacular “Palais des Papes” we’ll visit such memorable locations as the market town of St-Remy-deProvence, the monumental Pont du Gard, and the landscapes which inspired such artists as Cezanne and van Gogh. A few hours by train brings us back to Paris where we will spend five days sampling the incomparable City of Lights. Music, museums, monuments, markets, memorable meals, and a day trip to the forest and palace of Fontainebleau--a few of our Parisian experiences. Participants will have free time to plan their own excursions, or perhaps just to become a Parisian “flâneur”, for whom unexpected discoveries are the best.
