NeedtoKnow Fans of Monty Python, Mr. Bean and Dr. Seuss... Grab your Teacups! British comedians James & Jamesy bring their unique brand of hilarity back to Vancouver Island in their theatrical holiday classic O Christmas Tea: A British Comedy. The spectacle brings people together much like a panto, with interactive elements, yet James & Jamesy’s physical comedy and chemistry provide the real magic of this play. These 3-time London Impresario Award winners are on Island from November 17–21 in Courtenay, Duncan, Sidney and Nanaimo, and returning Dec 19 for two final shows at Victoria’s Royal Theatre. jamesandjamesy.com The Great Canadian Hike The second annual Great Canadian Hike, running until October 31, is a national challenge that encourages people to get out into nature and embrace their local trails in the company of friends, family and fellow Canadians. This year, Trans Canada Trail (TCT) invites Canadians to disconnect from screens and reconnect with nature and to one another, by collectively spending 28,000 hours on Canada’s 28,000 km national trail. Whether you hike, walk, run, skip, paddle, roll, stroll or bike, the Great Canadian Hike is the perfect antidote to the social isolation brought on by COVID-19. Last year, over 10,000 Canadians collectively hiked the length of the Trans Canada Trail and amassed a combined distance of 108,000 km—equivalent to almost three times the earth’s circumference! For details on how to join the Great Canadian Hike, visit the site at GreatCanadianHike.ca. The Maritime Museum’s New Digs The Maritime Museum of BC is open at its new location at 744 Douglas Street. The new space features a model display that will include returning favourites from the exhibits at the previous location, as well as some new models that will come out from storage to be on display for the first time in years. There will also be rotating featured exhibits that will change out 2 to 3 times a year. The first featured exhibit will be the exhibit titled SS Valencia: “A Theatre of Horror.” This exhibit will run into the fall before a new featured exhibit is installed. There will be a new interactive exhibit space where visitors can enjoy hands on exhibits and learn directly from Museum staff and volunteers. mmbc.bc.ca 6 Island Parent Magazine IslandParent.ca
