Did you see the photograph of CB Place in the Times Colonist recently? We were listed as one of the new buildings given the 19th Annual Commercial Building Awards by the Victoria Real Estate Board and the Times Colonist. Pretty nice design, isn’t it?

A new Discussion Group is starting on Thursday, November 4, for 6 weeks, from 9 to 10 am in the Studio, for interested members.  This group is organized by the Canadian Earth Institute, and will focus on how we think grow, buy, prepare, and consume food. The group will explore food systems and their impacts on culture, society, and ecological systems, and help us gain insight into agricultural and individual practices that promote personal and ecological well-being. It will help each of us to consider our role in creating or supporting sustainable food systems. There is no instructor for the discussion group; rather each participant takes turns in facilitating the group discussion. The only cost is the manual (around $25), which provides readings each week to focus the discussion. Space is limited, so contact Brenda Hurd (658-6484) or Val Murray (658-4289) to sign up and for more information.

We wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving holiday, with lots of turkey and all the trimmings!  Please note that CB Place will not be open on Thanksgiving Monday, Oct. 11, so there will not be any classes in Stretch & Strength and Spanish, and the Men’s Group will not be meeting, either.

Have a look at what’s happening in the Courtyard!  It’s starting to look pretty snazzy with the new paving stones and such!

Don’t forget to get your ticket for the November 5th luncheon and tea.  For only $10/person, you will get a delicious bowl of soup and sandwich, and a sweet with you tea!  Tickets are on sale at CB Place, and space is limited, so don’t delay!
