Thursday June 15 Noon to 3:00
Drop In
We will make felted Christmas ornaments for VG4A to sell at Christmas craft fairs in the Fall. They are simple to make using Christmas themed cookie cutters. There is no cost and supplies will be provided. However, you are encouraged to bring along small Christmas cookie cutters, open top and bottom, to provide the shapes for the finished ornaments and protect fingers. "Christmas, in June?", you might say. It is never too early to be stocking up in anticipation of a vigorous Christmas sale season. Join us for some crafting fun!

This is the 17th year of the Victoria Grandmothers for Africa Cycle Tour which raises funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign. The funds raised provide support to the grandmothers and their families who are living with the consequences of the HIV and AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa.
A registration fee of $20 is required to participate in the VG4A Cycle Tour. The optional Campbell River to Victoria Ride will cost $405 to cover the cost of accommodations, meals, etc. and will be open to those women who are registered for the 2023 Cycle Tour. Registration for this Ride is now open.
Each rider will determine for herself a personally challenging distance to ride over the duration of the Cycle Tour. For the 2023 Tour, regular bikes, e-bikes, spin bikes or stationary bikes are all welcome.
We hope you enjoy cycling the beautiful routes on either roads or the many bike trails on Vancouver Island and perhaps even further afield. This Cycle Tour is a time to make new friends and be inspired by those around you.
Check out our Cycle Tour page for additional information and details.

The Victoria Grandmothers for Africa Campbell River to Victoria Ride is a three-day event with up to 30 women cycling 275 km. We are supported by Grandmother groups along the way who provide meals, refreshments, and positive energy! Support and the participation of cyclists from all over Vancouver Island and beyond gives this event its unique character.
Second, join the CR-V ride with a cost of $405 for accommodations, meals, etc. as only members of the Cycle Tour can participate. (It is important that you register and pay the $20.00 fee for the VG4A Cycle Tour prior to registering for the CR-V Ride).
If possible, please use e-transfer or cheque so that VG4A avoids the $11.75 charge for each credit card transaction.
Transportation will be available for 14 people and their bikes. If interested in this option please contact vg4acycleregistrar@gmail.com.
This fundraiser, under the umbrella of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, provides support to grandmothers and their families who are living with the consequences of the HIV and AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa.
