Together For Sooke

We know something needs to change.
The question is: How do we change it together?
How can we move forward as a community - even when we don’t all agree?

This dialogue session explores these questions by creating space for deeper listening, respectful dialogue, and collective visioning. Whether you’re hopeful, frustrated, curious, or concerned about the tough questions facing our community - we want to hear from you.

Sign up for a dialogue session in December and help shape the future of Sooke.

Swimming Against The Heat:
Salmon in a Climate-Changing World

Join us by the Charters Creek for an immersive, land-based learning experience with salmon at the heart. Together with the T’Sou-ke Nation, local streamkeepers, and the Sooke River Jack Brooks Hatchery, we’ll explore the life of salmon, their habitats, and the forests that depend on them.

Through stories, hands-on learning, and dialogue, we’ll look at how climate change is reshaping our waterways and the health of salmon, and what actions we can take to help.

This is a community gathering — intergenerational, inclusive, and rooted in the lands and waters we share.

Liveable Futures

Save money. Live lighter. Boost well-being. Get inspired. Help the planet. Meet like-minded folks. Build strong community.

This series of two workshops digs into the fascinating new science of interconnectedness, transforming how we think about reality and how we build a stronger community together, in an increasingly fragile world.

You’ll learn how individual action is part of a global transition that is underway. Each of us can help create a liveable future by reducing emissions, ensuring emergency preparedness, and focusing on well-being. You will also learn how to talk and listen across different perspectives. Join us for an informative and enjoyable experience!

2026 workshop dates will be announced soon.
