If you’re a woman navigating midlife changes and feeling frustrated with weight gain, low energy, poor sleep, or shifts in your body that don’t feel like you, you’re not alone and it’s not your fault.
In this intimate and supportive workshop, holistic nutritionist and Metabolic Balance coach Sarah Cormack will guide you through a smarter, more sustainable approach to weight loss and wellness.

Independent Cycle Touring in Comfort – Spain and other destinations
Stephen Forgacs

Stephen Forgacs and Pamela Lee love cycle touring, but are no longer so keen on pitching a tent at every stop. Nor do they want to lug bulky bike boxes around on longer international trips that included just a week of cycling. As they discovered, it’s easy to cycle tour independently and still have a shower and comfortable bed at every destination without breaking the bank. Hear their tips on cycle touring made easy, fun, comfortable and relatively affordable.

TraC is a member-based organization that works to support healthy communities and reduce the Sunshine Coast’s carbon footprint by promoting more active and sustainable transportation alternatives to private vehicles, including cycling, walking, and transit.

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.

Pender Harbour Wildlife Presentation: River in Peril

A presentation with Jeremy Venditti, Professor of Environment Science at Simon Fraser. The mighty Fraser River, a powerful and free-flowing lifeline for British Columbia’s culture and economy, faces a hidden crisis as dredging and climate change create a critical sediment deficit in its delta. This imbalance threatens the region’s infrastructure and ecological integrity, highlighting the urgent need for a dedicated Fraser River Observatory to monitor the river’s health.
