About the Branch

The Vancouver Island branch meets on the third Saturday of every other month, from January to November. A social barbeque is usually held in Nanaimo in July. Meetings are held at various churches throughout the Island, with at least one each year in Victoria. An Annual Meeting is held in November, and an executive elected for the calendar year. A small newsletter is published before each general meeting.

Meetings start with a business meeting at 11 am, followed by lunch at noon, a speaker at 1 p.m., and Evensong at 2:30. The speakers, usually clergy from the diocese, cover a wide range of topics and points of view, but always touch on issues of interest to members.

At present the branch draws members from all over Vancouver Island, but due to the difficulty of travel, especially in winter, a separate branch (or institute) may soon be set up in Victoria.

The branch also sponsors a bursary of $500 for a student in the Anglican Studies program at Regent College (Vancouver) who is planning to work in the Anglican Church of Canada.
