Drop in to the Philosophers' Cafe in Nanaimo, a friendly forum for reflection on deep questions and topical issues. Each café offers a speaker who delivers a ten minute talk on a provocative subject – and then the floor opens for 50 minutes of general discussion. You can join the conversation, or just sit back and listen. Have dinner. Bring a friend. By donation. No registration. Everyone welcome!
Community: What does "community" mean to urban dwellers today? In contrast to the car-dominated thinking from the 1960s (suburbs, malls), we are now seeing a return to earlier forms of urban design in an attempt to recreate a friendlier and more connected urban experience – one that contributes to a sense of community. Can design foster a sense of connection and belonging? Do we really want to know our neighbours?
