Come to this awesome fundraiser bazaar with lots of prizes and surprises! Gently used children’s & adults clothing, new & used sale items. Music by fiddlers Que Brooke Bachand & Finn and singer-songwriters Anne Schaefer & Paterson.

Donations for the bazaar can be dropped off from 1 pm onwards, or pre-arrange a pickup or drop off (contact @silentdjvictoria)

Join us for the exhibition of the CHILDREN OF GAZA memory quilts, a project based in Berlin, Germany. Each stitched square tells the story of a child. A life brutally taken. Read about each child and let their stories touch your heart. The quilts remind us that children everywhere – no matter where they are from – share the same hopes, joys, and innocence. Children in Gaza are just like yours or mine.

If you would like to stitch a square, send a dm to @children.of.gaza.quilt. You can join from anywhere with any level of sewing skills.

Join Fernwood Neighbourhood House and Oaklands Community Centre for a celebration of love, joy, and snacks!

When: Monday, March 31, 3pm-5:30pm

Who’s Invited? This event is created by trans people, for trans people. We welcome trans folks in Fernwood & Oaklands to drop by and enjoy free snacks! Trans staff from all neighbourhood houses are also invited.

About Trans Day of Snack –
This day is all about trans joy, care, and nourishment. First mentioned on Gender Reveal (Tuck Woodstock, 2021), it offers a lighthearted contrast to other trans observances. While Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR) honours those we’ve lost and Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV) focuses on awareness, Trans Day of Snack is about comfort, indulgence, and self-care—because trans people deserve happiness, too.

There’s no wrong way to celebrate—treat yourself, share food with friends, or support trans-owned businesses. Most importantly, it’s a day to affirm that trans people deserve good snacks and good company.

Land Acknowledgment
Fernwood Neighbourhood House is on the homelands of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples, now known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. We recognize Two-Spirit, trans, and gender-diverse Indigenous peoples, whose identities existed long before colonization. Colonial systems continue to harm both Indigenous and trans communities, but Two-Spirit and trans Indigenous people remain leaders in movements for sovereignty, justice, and care.

💖 Come celebrate with us! Because trans joy is resistance, and snacks make everything better. 🍩✨
