This week, Greater Victoria celebrates in ways that remind us what community really means.

16 markets across 9 different neighbourhoods. Pride festivals bringing people together (and pets too!). Salsa competitions. Dance performances. Comedy shows. Nature walks and forest bathing. Knitting in public. Beatlemania. Celebrations everywhere from downtown Victoria to the outer reaches of all 13 communities.

But Friday is the week's headline: Canada plays their first FIFA World Cup match at NOON. You can watch on a big community screen downtown Victoria and in Langford. Viewing parties. Food trucks. Community.
