As summer winds down and the first day of school arrives for many across Greater Victoria, the incredible events don’t stop. If anything, they accelerate.

This week has a genuinely irresistible lineup: a musical celebrating the timeless songs of a country legend we said goodbye to this summer, and a rib-loving, lantern-lit weekend ahead.

Beyond that, there's a seniors expo, a hiring and education fair, an arts and culture festival by the lagoon, free skating, a community corn roast, and a few farmers markets wrapping up their season, though many are still running for weeks to come. In our Family Fun section, a milestone Family Fun Run celebrating 60 years of West Shore Parks & Recreation awaits. Open it up to get the full scoop.

And mark your calendar: it’s time to start getting ready for the Terry Fox Run this month, a wonderful chance to give back as a community.
