On Saturday, April 27th, the last day of the week long BC Arts and Culture Week at Katzie First Nation's Long House, Urban Ink Production's long travelling theatre show “Women in Fish” played to an audience of 100. It was followed by a welcome from the Chief, a welcome song by his cousin (very touching since he shook every guest’s hand), a delicious salmon buffet lunch, and a tour in another long house showcasing the fishing history.

In the late afternoon on Wednesday, April 2, our courageous beehive leader, Ajay (Masala Bee) Puri put out an invitation on his Facebook page.

He asked his friends to join him for a fun evening of dialogue, like the old days of salons in London or Paris where fashionable intellectuals of the day would discuss their ideas, leading and moving the whole enlightenment period. 

Being a proud bee, I took up the challenge and met him in one hour flat to get a good seat and to watch eight diverse “Vancouverites” give 10-minute speeches.
