2026 Meetings

All meetings are from 2pm to 4pm

Qualicum Beach Community Hall,

664 Memorial Ave. by the Farmers Market

We respectfully acknowledge that we are meeting within the unceded traditional territories  of the Snaw-naw-as people and the Qualicum First Nation, the traditional keepers of these lands.

Today, many First Nations and Métis peoples continue to live, work and play here as do we. We intend to nurture better understanding and pursue opportunities for collaboration with our First Nations neighbours.

       Arrowsmith Naturalists Members Meeting

         Our next meeting is March 26 at 2 pm. Important! Our new location is the QB
         Community Hall, 644 Memorial Ave. beside the Farmer’s Market area.
         You can also park in the St. Stevens church parking lot and use the ramp or
         stairs from that side. The glass doors on the Market side will also be
         opened. Doors open at 1:30.

Our speaker this month is Tryna Mclean, Head Gardener at the beautiful Filberg Gardens in Comox.
Comox town was recently acclaimed a Bee City Canada. There are about 93 Bee Cities across the country, 9 of which are in B.C., all pledging to support pollinators, educate the public, and celebrate National Pollinator Week each June.
Arrowsmith Naturalists has been working for a number of years to encourage Qualicum Beach in particular, and Oceanside in general, to publicly support pollinators and other insects in many ways, and we look forward to hearing how Comox has taken on the challenge to meet the criteria to gain the title of Bee City Canada.
