SUMMARY:Apartheid-Free Communities Film Night: Roadmap to Apartheid
DESCRIPTION:A Justice Network Offering\nRoadmap to Apartheid\nFriday August 21\, 2026\nOnline via Zoom\n4pm PT; 5pmMT; 6pm CT; 7pm ET; 8pm AT; 8:30pm NFLD\nYou can find the film synopsis below. The Apartheid Awareness Movie Nights is one of the AFC initiatives that aims at spreading awareness about the concept of Apartheid through film. There will be focus on the Apartheid in South Africa\, the Apartheid on Turtle Island\, and the Apartheid in Palestine.\nWe are thrilled to be able to partner with Jeeda Musleh\, Coordinator of Apartheid-Free Communities BC to help nourish the momentum of this movement\, and to help allies connect in supportive networks to keep this important work going. In 56 days\, on October 7th\, it will mark three full years that this current phase of Israeli genocide in Palestine will have been allowed to continue. We must stay faithful in this anti-apartheid work\, we must continue to speak\, act\, and organize in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings\, and we must help one another keep going.\nThis free screening will be offered via zoom\, there will be some opening remarks and updates on the Apartheid-Free Communities movement in BC and within the Pacific Mountain region\, and will be followed by a time of discussion. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Walking the Way: Camino de Santiago
DESCRIPTION:A LeaderSHIFT Offering with World Pilgrim Global Education\nWalking the Way: Camino de Santiago\nSaturday May 8 – Monday May 17\, 2027\nIn-Person\nFor more than a thousand years\, pilgrims have walked to the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela where the remains of St. James\, one of Jesus’ apostles are buried. Pilgrims have followed many routes\, the most popular one being over Northern Spain on the French Way. To this day\, pilgrims from around the world continue to make this journey following many different routes\, each person walking for their own reasons. \nMaybe for you it’s a spiritual journey\, a chance to get away from life and reflect. Maybe this will be a chance to challenge yourself physically and mentally and to walk with other pilgrims sharing the experience together. Maybe it’s a chance to be in nature walking through the beautiful countryside\, along ocean beaches and ancient villages. Your challenge and purpose await you on this journey. \nMore information here: https://leadershiftuccan.org/camino-2027
