Stay tuned for the recording of the livestream from last night’s Connection Project Storytelling Event. We’re making a couple of quick technical edits and will post soon! Last night was magical. Thank you to the amazing speakers and everyone who showed up online to support them. Ify Chiwetelu & Trevor Dineen, Hosts of the CBC show Now Or Never have been amazing supporters and inspiration to this project since it’s inceptionpictured here cheering everyone on! ... Much love to everyone!

Event Production Alwyn (Wyn) Crocker was born to lighthouse keepers on the remote West Coast of Vancouver Island and at the age of three moved to Bamfield. Leaving there at the age of 11, she then bounced between Ladysmith and Victoria for school, studied some History in Art and left University feeling very unprepared for life. Surprising even herself, she found love, community and satisfying work in Brentwood Bay where she’s been settled for almost a decade. In 2019, she joined The Peninsula Players to realize dreams of staging theatre and now for a second year in a row, she brings her organizational talents and sharp eye for visual details to the Connection Project’s Event Production.

Tomorrow we share an experience Although this year's event is virtual we know that the sharing of stories will remain the same, the learning from eachother will remain the same, and the community will remain the same. We thank you for being with us and joining us tomorrow Thursday Oct 22nd at 7pm for the 2020 Connection Project Live Stream event. ...
