Happy hump day, Victoria!
The snow has cleared and the sun is shining. With little in the way between you and your daily dose of fun, it’s time to enjoy the first day of March with a local event.
From art socials to comedy nights here are five ways you can enjoy your Wednesday:
Artful: 55+ Art Social with April Caverhill

- When: Wednesday, March 1st, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Café Historique: Dr Andrew Wender

Superior Jazz

- Where: The Church of Truth, 111 Superior Street
- When: Wednesday, March 1st, 7 p.m.
Sonic Jazz: Colin Stetson
Stetson’s astounding physical engagement with his instruments (chiefly bass and alto saxophones) produces emotionally rich and polyphonic compositions that transcend expectations of what solo horn playing can sound like.
For this performance, Colin Stetson will be triggering video and lighting events with his instruments, adding a live visual dimension to his legendary visceral sonic craft.

- When: Wednesday, March 1st, 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
