Happy mid-week, Victoria!
The days are beginning to lengthen, snowdrops are in full bloom and even the cherry blossoms are out—spring is in the air.
If you’re in need of a Wednesday pick-me-up, look no further! We’ve selected some unique events to push you through the rest of the week!
Learn more about urban farming from the City of Victoria, the impacts of technology from Dr. Zimmerman, or Seinfeld from Sixty Watt Trivia—whatever your heart desires, there’s some fun to be had while you learn.
