SUMMARY:Rainbow Kitchen & Parkside Hotel's Festive Bricks of Giving
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Rainbow Kitchen\, Parkside Hotel & Spa is proud to welcome back Festive Bricks of Giving for its second season. The free LEGO® brick holiday exhibition runs November 14\, 2026\, to January 3\, 2027\, in the hotel’s atrium.  \nOpen daily from 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM\, the display invites LEGO® fans of all ages to wander through the season’s creations and give back along the way. Every donation supports Rainbow Kitchen’s School Meal Program\, which delivers more than 7\,000 meals each month to children facing food insecurity in local schools. In the atrium\, Rainbow Kitchen’s Fridge of Love display shows how these donations come to life\, with in-school fridges that keep nourishing food available to students\, educators\, parents and support staff every day. \nOne of last year’s most talked-about pieces is making a welcome return\, as the custom LEGO® bridge once again spans the atrium’s koi pond. It’s just one of the many experiences this season has to offer\, with plenty more worth planning a visit around\, including these feature days: \n\nSaturday\, December 12 Watch a Live BIG BUILD by Robin Sather\, Canada’s first LEGO® Certified Professional from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM.\nWednesday\, December 16\, First Look at the BIG BUILD. Robin Sather returns with this year’s grand build. Last year he brought Santa’s sleigh to life\, and this year’s design is staying under wraps. Drop by from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM to be among the first to see the finished result up close and snap a photo. The build will remain on display through the rest of the season.\nSaturday\, December 19\, Free Photos with Santa. Families can stop in for complimentary photos with Santa from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.\nSunday\, December 20\, LEGO® Time Trials. Builders of all ages can test their speed-building skills in a friendly challenge from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Prizes include a LEGO® set and one-night stay at Parkside. \n\nVisitors can give at tap-to-donate stations throughout the hotel or donate online at RainbowKitchen.ca/donate\, where they can select the Festive Bricks of Giving Fund Matching Fund to have their eligible donation matched\, up to a total of $25\,000\, throughout the duration of the fundraiser.

SUMMARY:Let's Talk Live: Sunday Afternoon Conversation and Connection
DESCRIPTION:Every Sunday from 3-5pm at Heslaa Tea Room\, 636 Johnson st\, have meaningful conversations and create genuine connections\, free of charge. Drop-in\, 19+ welcome.  \nSunday was made for this. \nNo brunch plans? No agenda? Good. Come sit with us. \nEvery Sunday from 3PM–5PM at Heslaa Tea\, one of Victoria’s most beautiful\, calming spaces\, we’re holding room for something a little slower. A little softer. A little more human. \nFully self-guided with table talkers\, carefully chosen conversation prompt cards sitting at your table before you even walk through the door. No host\, no schedule\, no pressure to perform. Just a gentle starting point\, and then the conversation becomes completely your own. \nCome alone or bring someone. You’ll be paired one-on-one or in a small group (max 4) with people you wouldn’t have stumbled into on a regular Sunday afternoon. \nPicture this: \n-The smell of loose leaf tea and a table all to yourself \n– A conversation that actually makes you think \n– Connection that doesn’t feel forced or rushed \n– The slowest\, most restorative part of your whole week \n– Self-guided table talkers — show up\, sit down\, start talking \n– Heslaa Tea — 636 Johnson St\, Victoria BC \n– 100% free \n– 19+ welcome \n– Drop in anytime between 3PM–5PM \n– Stay for one cup or close the place down \nIf you’ve been looking for things to do in Victoria on a Sunday\, a way to meet people in Victoria BC without it feeling like a networking event\, or simply a reason to leave the house and feel something — this is your sign. \nThe best conversations you’ve ever had probably started with a warm drink and a stranger.  \nSee you Sunday
