The Telus Van Isle 360 yacht race is a 580 nautical mile race circumnavigating wild & rugged Vancouver Island.

The race is run in a series of 10 legs & includes both inshore, offshore & overnight legs through some of the most challenging & beautiful waters on the planet.

The timing for the entire race is dictated by the currents through Seymour Narrows (just north of Campbell River). Seymour Narrows has some of the strongest currents in the world, at times reaching 16 knots. A northbound ebb early in the day through this area determines the dates for the race.

The race is on! In 1911, two Antarctic-bound explorers, the Englishman Robert Falcon Scott & the Norwegian Roald Amundsen, led teams through harrowing conditions against a ticking clock.

This new exhibition recounts one of the most stirring tales of exploration-the dramatic contest to reach the South Pole.

Although Emily Carr described herself as an isolated little old woman on the edge of nowhere, her work has a universal appeal. With this exhibition, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria will become the premiere destination on Vancouver Island to visit and learn about Emily Carr through her paintings. On the Edge of Nowhere will include a historical survey of Carr's artistic career, featuring pieces in all the media & styles she explored & perfected. It will also focus on Carr's influences & inspirations, such as European modern art, members of the Group of Seven artists, First Nations artists and Carr's spirituality.

Nifty news, dames and fellas, our aged barrel spirits will soon be on available on the market!

Join us for our Speakeasy Cocktail Party to help say scram to the restrictive liquor laws of the past, and celebrate the opening of our distillery doors. Swingin' jazz, canapes, and costumes from the prohibition times of the 1920s will make this an event that's sure to be the cat's pyjamas!

Don't miss your chance to be the toast of the town, and among the first to taste our spirits that have been quietly aging behind the big wooden doors at the farm.
