=0D=0A=*Background:*
=0D=0A=The Central Vancouver Island Region of JASNA is the legacy of Port Alberni’s Jane Austen Festival (begun in 2015). The Festival was a project of the Centennial Belles, who found their Inner Austen and decided to share their interests throughout the year. Our JASNA Region was formally founded in 2018, joining the large family of Austen fans continent-wide. Events are held in year-round, at intervals of approximately six weeks (watch for our announcements).
