Saltwater Tongues: Community Art & Poetry Night

Join us for an evening that welcomes everyone to listen, share, and speak into being a more just and resilient future.

This year, we’re co-hosting this event with the Gorge Waterway Action Society, the BC Climate Emergency Campaign, and the University of Victoria Sustainability Project. Together, we want to explore how climate intersects with the Salish Sea, and what it means to live in coastal communities in these times.

June 7 | 12:00–5:00 PM | Leg-In-Boot Square, Market Hill, Vancouver, BC | FREE
