Rev. Shana Lynngood “Where’s the I in We?”
Jun 15 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

You have likely heard the adage, “there’s no I in team.” In a community such as our church there are many I s in our We. How do we balance our personal opinions and hopes for the community of the whole with the collective desire of the community? When should I assert my I, and when might it be best to allow the we to lead?

Kai Nagata   “Let BC Vote campaign; aiming to give British Columbians a democratic say over pipeline and oil tanker proposals. “     
Jun 29 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Kai, who is the Energy & Democracy Director at the Dogwood Initiative, will share with us some of the initiatives that Dogwood has been spear-heading to ensure the people of Birtish Columbia have a say in our land, air and water.

 

Kai is a fourth-generation British Columbian, Kai’s roots are in the Shuswap, Gulf Islands and Lower Mainland. His last name translates roughly to “everlasting rice paddy,” which was probably a lot to hope for in feudal Japan. In his spare time he enjoys archery, camping, fishing and hunting.

As a journalist he covered an all-out mafia war, the rise of the Orange Wave and a blind British lute virtuoso’s quest to set a world record jumping motorcycles. Having held positions at CBC and CTV, he can confirm that some reporters you see on TV are, in fact, not wearing pants. His writing appears in the Toronto Star, the Tyee, DeSmog Canada, the Vancouver Sun and elsewhere.

Moving into digital content and strategy in 2012, Kai has advised candidates or elected officials across the political spectrum, as well as clients in advocacy, education, First Nations government and the private sector. So far only one of those gigs has led to being growled at by grizzly bears.

Kai is committed to building democracy through nonpartisan citizen engagement. He believes in fact-driven debates and speaking truth to power.

Dr. Trevor Hancock “Creating Healthy Communities”
Jul 6 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Just as it takes a whole village to raise a child, so too does it take a whole community to raise healthy people. So what is a healthy community, and how do we get one? I will discuss these issues and three key challenges facing communities: Equity, sustainability and governance.

 

Dr. Trevor Hancock is a Professor and Senior Scholar at the School of Public Health and Social Policy at the University of Victoria.
