Arts Council of Ladysmith
From the education coordinator at the Arts Council of Ladysmith and District Shannon Delaney: We are planning two free, online events in April that may be of interest to students and families. We’ll be hosting a two-part talk series on Zoom about pursuing arts education and exploring options for working as an artist.
Each talk will include a panel discussion followed by a Q & A session. The first, on April 21 from 6:30 to 7:30 PM, will focus on arts education, building a portfolio, and gaining experiences to foster connections and develop a resume. The second, on April 28 from 6:30 to 7:30 PM will feature a diverse panel of young, emerging artists who have found their own paths as working professionals in their respective fields.
Please see the attached flyer which provides further details. Registration is free and is required to receive the Zoom link for each event.

It’s the Final Week for the Poverty Reduction Questionnaire!
You’re invited to share your experiences and ideas for reducing poverty in Ladysmith and Stz’uminus!
The CommUNITY Together to End Poverty Hw-nuts‘-ulwum (as one) project aims to engage the public about how poverty is experienced in our communities and determine what actions we can each take to be a part of the solutions that will help eliminate poverty here at home. The input received will be put towards developing a local Poverty Reduction Strategy.
The more people who participate, the more comprehensive this strategy will be with greater commitment and energy to follow through on priority actions!
The Questionnaire will be closed at the end of the day on Sunday, April 18, 2021 with a draft summary of the input to be shared for comment by the community in the weeks to follow.
Complete information and details with links to social media channels can be found at www.communitytogethertoendpoverty.ca.
Thank you! Huy ch q’u!
