Plant for Pollinators and help us support Hives for Humanity
A healthy landscape is full of pollinators. Understanding the relationships between specific types of flowers and specific pollinators helps to explain why biodiversity is so important. The greater variety of flowers (including vegetables and herbs) in the garden, the wider range of pollinators can be supported
When you hold a frame of bees in your hands or taste honey from a garden you have cared for, your interconnection becomes tangible, and your potential is engaged.
By sponsoring Hives For Humanity, you create these transformational moments of connection, you bring people into the community, and you take a meaningful step towards saving the bees. Together we can foster a healthy, diverse and inclusive city, for people and pollinators of all kinds.

When the bees are excited they dance – they buzz and turn and waggle and share their news, whether it be of a source of food or a new home. Hives for Humanity have been sending out their own waggle dance – the launch of their new honey flight and the ask for support to bridge a gap in their funding. You can provide support by reserving a Honey Flight, linked below. A sweet and impactful gift for a friend, a centrepiece for a seasonal cheese board or charcuterie plate, a thank you gift for a colleague, mentor or teacher. A flight of four local neighbourhood honeys that shares a story of diversity, inclusion, impact, action, and hope.

Renaming of the Dunbar Room to the Gerry Massing Room

We are proud to announce the renaming of the Dunbar Room to the Gerry Massing Room (or, as Gerry would have liked it to be called, Gerry’s Room). Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the room renaming celebration this past Friday.  Gerry, you always in our thoughts.

DEEP – Rapid Damage Assessment Workshop

DEEP invites you to join their upcoming workshop on Thursday, 3 October from 6:30pm – 9pm at the Dunbar Community Centre.

Post-Disaster Building Assessment (PDBA) enables communities impacted by a disaster situation, like earthquakes, to more rapidly assess the safety of structures and allow people to remain in or return to their homes and businesses as soon as possible. This reduces the social impact of such events, allowing communities to recover more quickly and reducing the impact on emergency and social service resources.

DEEP will be offering Rapid Damage Assessment again this fall. The course material is based on the BC Housing program. There is no charge for the course; the accompanying booklets can be purchased at cost ($8 per copy) and are also available from BC Housing for $14.78. Note: BC Housing charges $70 per person for this course.

Space is limited to 40 participants.  To register, please see DEEP’s page directly: Register for Rapid Damage Assessment Workshop
