The West Coast Zenthai Team is excited for you to dip your toes into this 3-hour movement workshop to meet new friends and get in touch with your body.
Important, Not Important is the environmental and ‘current issues’ newsletter that cuts right through the crap.
“Refreshingly snarky” and incredibly informative, I’ve learned more with this newsletter than I did during university.
The best part? It’s a call to action. Where many similar newsletters may leave you with a feeling of hopelessness, INI gives you actionable steps to make the world a better place, whether that’s through advocating for racial equality in government or everyday actions towards environmental justice.
Do yourself a favour and hit the link below to help unf**k the world.
If the post cuts off, that means there’s too many events for the email! Head here to read the full post.

The Fashion Letter x LampPost Victoria
We may be biased, but I’m not sure there’s a more sustainably-oriented community in all of Canada than there is in Victoria. What’s more, we manage to do it while looking super fly 😎
That’s why we’re super excited to partner with The Fashion Letter, an eco-focused newsletter delivered weekly to your inbox with the latest in sustainable fashion.
Give The Fashion Letter a follow today and say goodbye to fast fashion forever (without losing your drip!)
