Continuing South to Colombia
Martin Prestage

In 1996, Martin Prestage ‘almost’ completed an around the world bicycle tour, heading south but finishing in Costa Rica. Twenty-four years later in 2020, he continued his journey with a circuitous tour of Western Cuba, a short hop through Panama, and a sail through the San Blas Islands to Cartagena, where he embarked on a fantastic and hilly ride through northern Columbia. Join us to learn more about his most recent escapade to maybe, one day, reach Tierra del Fuego!

Capilano Universe Lecture: Rethinking Inclusion Through a Neurodiversity-Affirming Lens (ONLINE)

Despite decades of reform, inclusive education often stops at policy compliance rather than fostering authentic belonging. This talk explores how schools can move beyond technical solutions to cultivate genuine inclusion grounded in empathy, reflection, and shared responsibility. Drawing from her doctoral research, Kinza Pirzada (EdD, MPEd, MSc) examines how systemic ableism and professional norms shape educational experiences for neurodivergent learners. Through stories from the field, she illustrates how educators and leaders can shift from “managing difference” to embracing diversity as a source of innovation and growth. This session invites participants to imagine schools as communities where all learners feel seen, valued, and connected.

Ryan McMahon at the Festival of the Written Arts

Engaging and honest, Ryan McMahon’s music is written from the heart and sung from the soul, following the lead of his peers Jason Isbell, Nathaniel Rateliff and Warren Zevon. With six releases under his name and two with his side project, the acclaimed trio Lion Bear Fox, McMahon has established himself as one of western Canada’s most prolific singer-songwriters, leading to multiple Vancouver Island Music Awards and supporting slots for Burton Cummings, Tom Cochrane, Mother Mother, Lee Harvey Osmond and others. On his latest album, Live Now, Ryan’s storytelling remains deeply personal, drawing on real-life stories. While firmly rooted in folk and roots, the album also explores hints of rock and Americana, creating a dynamic range to his music that makes each song an individual journey.
