Keynote: Understanding the mystery of your nervous system makes life much easier |
Carrie DeJong, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Carrie DeJong & Associates |
We all utilize owner's manuals to help us function. But most of us know more about our laptop's operating system than we know about our operating system. Our nervous system is responsible for everything that makes us human. Our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, instincts, and digestive system are all operated by a system most of us know very little about. Polyvagal Theory has revolutionized how we understand ourselves and how we function. It provides a straightforward way of making sense of our reactions, relationships, and how we operate in our lives in ways that can make life so much easier. |
| 12 p.m. |
Yoga |
Sandra Jara (sponsored by SUVCC) |
Practicing yoga regularly provides countless benefits, both physical and mental. The class is for all levels, whether you have practiced before or if it is your first time doing yoga. I encourage my students to practice Yoga with the sound of their own breathing and listening to their bodies, how it opens, contracts, releases and how suddenly with an adjustment they can enter the yoga posture and the experience is transformed. Also, I encourage them to feel the body, aligning it, inviting gently to go a little farther, support it, and explore the yoga posture (Asana) to see what is beyond. |
| 12:30 p.m. |
Mindfulness |
Sandra Jara (sponsored by SUVCC) |
Often we listen to the words mindfulness and meditation mindfulness as synonyms. Nevertheless, there is a difference between two. Mindfulness is based completely on the practice of conscience and attention. And meditation on mindfulness is a tool for developing the skill of full attention. Practices of meditation of mindfulness, can help regulate the system nervous nice going down the tendency to reactivity and active the system parasympathetic that allows us regenerate and reset the balance in our body. In our session we will learn a meditation technique to focus on the present moment and to regulate our nervous system, and to help us respond assertively to daily stress. |
| 1 p.m. |
Managing anxiety during a global pandemic |
Mark Antczak, Registered Clinical Counsellor and Clinical Educator, Anxiety Canada |
Join to learn about the many triggers of our anxiety and how to manage it using cognitive behavioural therapy with Anxiety Canada’s Registered Clinical Counsellor, Mark Antczak. In this workshop you will learn strategies to challenge your thoughts and change the behaviours that reinforce our anxiety using the Mindshift App. |
| 1:30 p.m. |
Meridian Yoga Therapy |
Eda Ertan, VCC Alumni |
In this session, Eda will introduce you to Meridian Yoga Therapy. She will teach you how to activate meridians in the body through stimulation and stretching along with a flow of sun salutations to balance the yin and yang energies. Meridian pathways are connected to our organs and allow the qi/vital energy to travel through the body, mind, heart and soul. Meridian Therapy is a great tool and a resource which can be embraced in one’s daily life to support overall health and wellbeing. |
| 2 p.m. |
Mapping your nervous system |
Carrie DeJong, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Carrie DeJong & Associates |
This session provides participants with an opportunity to understand more about how their nervous system functions using Polyvagal Theory. It will provide basic skills to help you identify what your nervous system is doing or experiencing at a specific moment. This knowledge helps us understand ourselves and others. It helps us have less judgment for ourselves and allows us to be more curious about what we need to function better in some of the challenges we face. |
| 2:30 p.m. |
Sound healing |
Theda Phoenix, VCC Alumni |
In this session, participants will be invited to recline comfortably, close their eyes and receive the calming effects of guided sound healing music to support nervous system regulation. We will enter a state of slowing down, connecting to the breath, body and our intentions as the sounds and frequencies of Crystal Singing Bowls and the natural human voice creates a calming and balancing effect on the nervous system, intended to lead to an experience of well being, renewal, relaxation and peace. |
| 3 p.m. |
Emotions 101: What to do when faced with difficult emotions |
Alper Caglayan, VCC Counsellor |
In this session we will learn practical strategies how to effectively be with our emotions, to befriend our emotions, and allow all our emotions to enhance our lives.
Find calm in the midst of the storm. Befriend yourself. Increase your emotional intelligence.

What you need to know for VCC's annual earthquake drill
VCC will participate in the Great ShakeOut earthquake drill on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 10:15 a.m.
- During the drill, audio announcements will be broadcast instructing anyone on campus to "drop, cover, and hold on."
- Upon completion of the earthquake drill, building alarms will be activated and VCC will practice a full campus evacuation (with physical distancing due to COVID-19).
Earthquake preparedness at home
More than 3,000 earthquakes occur in British Columbia each year. Most are too small to be felt, but the risk of one big enough to cause significant damage is very real. Participating in the Great ShakeOut is an effective way to better understand B.C.’s earthquake risk and how to prepare.
Drop, cover, and hold on! Learn more about what you should do during an earthquake.

Honouring families and communities impacted by the residential school system
On September 30, VCC will observe Orange Shirt Day. We encourage everyone to wear an orange shirt in the spirit of reconciliation and to show their support of families and communities impacted by the residential school system.
Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) residential school commemoration event held in Williams Lake, B.C., in the spring of 2013. It grew out of Phyllis' story of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the Mission, and it has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential schools happening annually.
The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools, and because it is an opportunity to set the stage for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year. It also gives teachers time to plan events that will include children, as we want to ensure that we are passing the story and learning on to the next generations.
Orange Shirt Day is also an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools, and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.

Join us on August 14 for a one-night-only special guest chef edition of VCC's popular Chef's Table featuring Executive Chef Sam Fabbro.
The Chef’s Table Guest Chef Series was initiated in November 2017 to showcase VCC alumni, our culinary arts and hospitality programs, and to raise funds for future equipment needs and student bursaries and scholarships.
As a child, Chef Sam Fabbro began cooking with his grandmother, deciding early on that culinary arts would be his life's path. While attending LA Matheson Secondary School, Sam dedicated a year to culinary training under the instruction of Chef O while also working at Cobre Restaurant.
After attending VCC, Sam went on to work at Restaurant 62, Raincity Grill, CinCin, and Cocktails & Canapés. Rising from Sous Chef to Executive Chef at the award-winning El Santo, Sam recently opened the New Westminster plant-based eatery, Amaranthus, with El Santo owner, Alejandro Diaz.
You'll enjoy a five-course, fixed menu with optional wine pairings. Seating is limited. Purchase tickets early to avoid dissapointment!

Join VCC alumnus Danvee Kwok for an evening of spectacular fare. Danvee's culinary career began with the Glowbal Restaurant Group restaurants, where she moved quickly from line cook to sous chef. She then took the opportunity to be part of the opening team of The Flying Pig Yaletown and Gastown. Recently Danvee has joined the culinary teams as sous chef at Torafuku and Royal Dinette. She loves cooking foods that are nostalgic to her, such as flavours reminiscent of growing up in Hong Kong. Or, her first trip to Japan with family, where the aromas of dashi and grilled fish filled the hallway every morning. These are a few things that contributed to her style of cooking and passion for food.
Your ticket includes a five-course, fixed menu with optional wine pairings.
The Chef’s Table Guest Chef Series was initiated in November 2017 as a means to showcase VCC alumni and the culinary arts and hospitality programs, and to raise funds for the VCC Foundation.

Tickets on sale now for this special performance.
This staged reading does not disappoint! Proving that great entertainment never goes out of style, the presentation of Love, Loss and What I Wore by award-winning screenwriters and authors Nora and Delia Ephron (based on the book by Ilene Beckerman) comes to Presentation House Theatre stage, for two evenings only.
Like a long heart-to-heart with your best friend, this intimate and engaging collection of stories meanders from musings over wedding-day attire to a rant about loathing a purse and everything in between. Odes to first bras, cowboy boots, and outfits that made our mothers cringe, Love, Loss and What I Wore evokes funny memories and poignant stories about tyrannical dressing rooms, painful heels, comfy Birkenstocks and having to choose between the two!
Love, Loss, and What I wore is a fundraiser supporting of Vancouver Community College’s (VCC) Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH), Visually Impaired (VIP), ASL and Deaf Studies, and Interpreting Services (IS) departments. Funds raised from the ticket sales of this performance, and the rummage sale following the performance will go directly towards scholarships for Deaf, hard of hearing, and visually impaired students.
ASL interpretering will be provided.

VCC alumnus Jefferson Bueno will be creating an evening of deliciousness. You might recognize Jefferson as the culinary face of VCC's "Make Your Mark" campaign or from the video, The Master & the Prodigy that featured Jefferson and his instructor, Chef Ysabel Sukic.
Jefferson currently resides in Victoria, B.C. working as a chef catering for over 200 people at one of the provinces largest childcare centres. He devotes his spare time to two of his favourite hobbies - foraging local wild food, and the science behind cooking such as molecular gastronomy.
"I believe that working directly with kids and giving them the opportunity to try a variety of different ingredients at an early stage will promote a healthy lifestyle and food culture for them as they grow to appreciate food." - Jefferson Bueno
The Chef’s Table Guest Chef Series was initiated in November 2017 to showcase VCC alumni, our culinary arts and hospitality programs, and to raise funds for future equipment needs and student bursaries and scholarships.
You'll enjoy a five-course, fixed menu with optional wine pairings. Seating is limited, purchase tickets early to avoid disappointment.

Join VCC in supporting the work of the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre
The Downtown Eastside Women's Centre (DEWC) presents the third annual HERSTORY IN FOCUS, hosted at the Vancouver Art Gallery. HERSTORY raises support and awareness for the work of the Centre, celebrating the strength and resilience of women in our community. As the night's highlight, women of the Centre perform a live fashion show as an expression of style and empowerment.
This year, the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre commemorates our 40 year anniversary, with a special focus on our meal program, and its long-term support sustaining and nourishing women from the Centre's inception. The theme this year is 'inner essence: highlighting the inner power and unique personalities of women.'
HERSTORY aims to raise $50,000 for the drop-in centre and meal program, providing over 500 meals daily to women. As the sole low-barrier drop-in space in the Downtown Eastside, DEWC provides invaluable sanctuary to women in a highly marginalized community, with the meal program serving as the entry point to the Centre and a continuum of care.
Many VCC departments (including fashion, hair design, makeup, and graphic design) are volunteering their time to support this event. Join us at HERSTORY IN FOCUS in supporting the work of the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre and elevating women's voices, stories, and strength.

Nature, solitude, and contemplation are the focus of this recital. From the burnished lake of Argento’s To Be Sung Upon the Waterto the azure sky of Meyerbeer’s Hirtenlied, to the towering cliffs of Schubert’s beloved Shepherd on the Rock, the songs celebrate the freedom and inspiration of the natural world. Jeff Younger’s new piece, exploring the theme of erosion, evokes the fragile and transitory nature of our earth's riches.

This event is not the result of a competitive process; rather, it was created and designed to celebrate the great diversity of musical practices at VCC Music, and to recognize the hard work that goes into all aspects of the music making experience - from planning and organizing the performance to programme note writing and stage demeanour. It also provides an opportunity for students to share their work in an evening concert setting open to the public.

12 - 3:30 p.m.
In this world cafe, we will explore the meaning of "primary health care" as a holistic model of health care. We'll explore:
-ways to better engage community members in developing health programs and health promotion initiatives in ways that meet their needs
-ways to work "upstream" to prevent people from getting sick to begin with
-ways to promote people's health through the co-creation of healthy communities
-ways to enable health care workers to work in collaboration with diverse communities and multiple levels of government in this upstream healing and health promotion work.
Come join us for a light lunch, guest speakers, and presentations from VCC nursing students on the health promotion work they have been engaged in, in collaboration with diverse community partners. We'll then engage in conversations across dialogue tables to explore ways that we can collectively advocate for developing our health care system in a way that supports people to thrive in their communities.

Explore the history and culture of Latin jazz with the John Korsrud Quartet
Vancouver Community College's (VCC) Music department proudly introduces "Off Broadway", a five-concert series exploring the history, culture, and timeless sounds of jazz and classical music. Each concert will begin with a 10-minute lecture followed by a 45-minute concert featuring VCC’s music faculty members.
Concert #2 - John Korsrud Quartet with introduction by Dr. Deirdre Morgan
This concert will explore John's love affair with Latin jazz and the music from the Caribbean, with high-energy music by Eddie Palmieri, Michel Camilo and others. The concert will feature one of Canada's top latin-jazz drummers, Raphael Geronimo, Latin-jazz specialist and VCC alumna Niho Takase on piano, as well as VCC Music Department Leader, Laurence Mollerup on bass.
John Korsrud is the recipient of the 2012 City of Vancouver Mayor's Arts Award, the 2015 Canada Council Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award, and is the leader of the 18-piece new music/ jazz ensemble, The Hard Rubber Orchestra, a group he formed in 1990. In 2010, John performed on his own trumpet concerto, Come to the Dark Side, at New York’s Carnegie Hall, commissioned and performed by The American Composers Orchestra. John's diverse playing experiences has seen him play with international improvisors such as George Lewis, Anthony Braxton, Barry Guy and Kenny Wheeler, as well as The Vancouver Symphony and Vancouver rock bands such as 54-40 and DOA.
