Voltage Control's FREE Facilitation Lab Vancouver
Staff submitted
Facilitation Lab Vancouver offers a hands-on environment where you can test ideas, navigate real challenges, and strengthen your skills through practice.
This session uses the Practice Playground format — an interactive structure where participants rotate between facilitating, role-playing, and giving feedback. It’s experiential, supportive, and focused on practical growth rather than theory.
Bring a real situation you’re working through: a workshop you’re refining, a complex group dynamic, or a moment you want to handle more confidently next time. You’ll explore it with peers, experiment with approaches, and receive constructive input in a space designed for learning.
Whether you take the facilitator seat or contribute as an engaged participant, you’ll leave with clearer insight, practical tools, and renewed confidence.
Event type: Education / lecture. Campaign, project, or topic: Neighbourhoods: All of Vancouver. Languages: English. Ticket price: Free.

Silent Movie Mondays: The Lodger: a Story of the London Fog
Staff submitted
Escape to the roaring 1920s at Silent Movie Mondays, a popular film series presented by Vancouver Civic Theatres! Join us in the stunning Orpheum theatre to enjoy a screening of The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927) directed by Alfred Hitchcock while a soundtrack is played live on the theatre’s rare Wurlitzer organ - an instrument originally created to accompany silent films and the last in Canada still in its original home. Alfred Hitchcock considered The Lodger to be his true directorial debut, it also became his first critical and commercial success. This haunting silent thriller tells the tale of a mysterious young man who takes up residence at a London boarding house just as a killer known as the Avenger descends upon the city. An evening at Silent Movie Mondays also includes a live Jazz Band performance one hour before the show and a fun post-show talk from Vancouver Film School’s Keith Blackmore.
