Welcome to Upstart & Crow’s In Translation Book Club , a celebration of global literature and storytelling across languages and borders! This free, bi-monthly event in our studio space introduces readers to powerful voices writing in languages other than English, amplifying fresh perspectives, underheard narratives and bold ideas. Our recent reads have been dark, dense, and a little esoteric. For September, we're giving ourselves a gentle reprieve with a book that feels like late-summer. Mina’s Matchbox by Y oko Ogawa is a dreamy story set in 1970s Japan. It follows twelve-year-old Tomoko during a shimmering year spent in her uncle’s sea-side mansion, complete with gardens, eccentric adults, remains of an old zoo, and—at its heart—a little girl named Mina. Wistful and effervescent, but by no means frivolous, Ogawa captures the essence of childhood in all its beauty, loneliness, and wonder. If you’ve been waiting for a luminous read to carry you through the final days of summer, this is the one. We’ll be discussing it on Wednesday, September 24 at 6:00pm . Bring yourself and an open mind to discuss the book! That’s all. You do not need to have purchased the book from us to attend, but we’ll be offering a 10% discount on the title if you do. You can do so by selecting between two ticket options. We're also trying out a new way for attendees to stay connected and to share thoughts and questions as they read. To join our WhatsApp community, click here . Please select which groups you'd like to join by accepting the "join group" prompts. More about Upstart & Crow: Upstart & Crow is a not-for-profit creative studio and literary incubator that champions writers, readers and stories, and the role they play in shaping our lives.

Hat-Making: Design & Create Your Own Felt Hat 2-class workshop In this small group class, everyone is involved and moving. It isn’t a lecture – it’s a great opportunity to spend time with a special friend or family member, to satisfy a deep curiosity or release your inner creativity! In session one, you will receive a customized measurement from Marcia to determine your perfect hat size, choose your hat block from the assortment of antique (and not so antique) options and make the all important decision: the colour of felt you would like to use for your special hat. Then it’s time to put on the apron! During this hands-on segment, you will learn how to block your hat and create the final shape of your masterpiece. There will be a live demonstration from Marcia and she will then work with you to steam, stretch and form your felt onto your chosen block. Session two begins with removing your dry felt from the block. This will be the first time you get to try on your creation! Now it’s time to complete your hat with the inner headband, strengthen the edge of the brim, and add the hat band and trims that will make your hat truly unique. Some hand sewing experience is helpful but not necessary. Bring your enthusiasm and any special buttons or trims you may want to use. All other necessary supplies are provided! This introductory 2-session workshop will give you enough base knowledge to create your own hats at home. If this session doesn’t suit you – or you would like to buy this as a gift – please contact Marcia at lotusmillinery@gmail.com The workshop sessions will take place upstairs in Marcia's studio at The Beaumont Studios. Lotus Millinery is Studio 10. Please enter through the Beaumont entrance at 326 W 5th Ave. Part one: Wednesday, 24 September 2025 at 7:00pm-8:30pm Part two: Wednesday, 2 October 2025 at 7:00pm-8:30pm All supplies included.

DecentraLabs – Decentralizing access to laboratory equipment This event will be held in a hybrid format: in person at the Dodson Room in Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and online via Zoom. A Zoom link will be sent to registrants who specify they are unable to attend in person. Abstract : For over two decades, online laboratories (OLs) have offered the possibility of conducting remote experiments in fields such as engineering, physics, robotics, and cybersecurity. Yet in practice, most remain confined to their own institutions and, when shared externally, often vanish over time due to the lack of incentives and sustainable models. This is compounded by the absence of standards for interoperating between systems and coordinating access, payments, and identity management across organizations. DecentraLabs addresses these problems by applying decentralized technologies to the global management of OLs. Our goal is to turn OLs into decentralized online laboratories (dOLs), offering verifiable access, incentives for maintenance, and an open ecosystem for collaboration. At the core of the system lies an Ethereum-based smart contract suite: A modular proxy (ERC-2535) to allow upgrades without disrupting service. NFTs (ERC-721) to represent laboratories and time-slot reservations (ERC-809 extension). The fungible $LAB token (ERC-20) as a payment method and incentive mechanism. Through a decentralized marketplace, students, educators, and researchers can discover, book, and access laboratories anywhere in the world, with usage terms and payments enforced automatically and transparently. An authentication and authorization service bridges the blockchain logic with access control platforms, enabling seamless integration of dOLs into existing infrastructure. The economic model rewards providers: they earn $LAB tokens for each reservation, and a portion of transaction fees will be allocated to scholarships for under-resourced institutions. All code is open source, encouraging auditability, reuse, and the growth of a development community around the project. DecentraLabs is currently in a technical validation phase (testnet) supported by the NGI Sargasso program and in collaboration with Blockchain@UBC, universities, and equipment manufacturers. This talk will explore the why and the how of this initiative; from the historical challenges of OLs to the decentralized architecture we propose, including real-world use cases, the expected impact on education and research, and the opportunities that arise from applying DeSci principles to hands-on experimentation.

For our fourth tour of 2025, ZEBx invites you to the recently completed Timbre and Harmony residential development by Brightside Community Homes Foundation. Located in Vancouver’s Grandview-Woodland neighbourhood, the project replaces a 57-unit building with a two-building, 157-unit housing complex. Designed by Ryder Architecture and consistent with Brightside’s forward-thinking approach to development and tenant retention, the project delivers another all-electric, Passive House residential complex that meets the highest energy and emissions steps of the BC Energy Step Code. This climate-friendly and climate-resilient building not only offers extremely low energy costs for tenants but, also demonstrates that Passive House is achievable for rental housing at a cost per square foot comparable to conventional construction. These savings were made possible through strategies such as simplifying the building form, integrating the heating and cooling systems with ventilation, and achieving a high level of airtightness. Join us on September 25 at 3pm for a great networking and learning opportunity. The complex also features: Passive House-certified, triple-glazed, vinyl-framed windows by Innotech Windows and Doors solar shading around windows supplemental heating provided by electric baseboard heaters supplemental cooling by boosting the ventilation rate Ten SANCO2 CO2-based domestic hot water heat pumps by Small Planet Supply prefabricated wall panels by NuFrame Group centralized ventilation system with Ventacity ERVs an airtightness ranging between 0.41 and 0.43 ACH amenities such as gathering spaces with communal kitchens and outdoor courtyards featuring urban agriculture and exceptional landscaping Project Team Housing Provider: Brightside Community Homes Foundation Project Manager: Colliers Canada Architect: Ryder Architecture General Contractor: Etro Construction Building Envelope Consultant: RJC Engineers Mechanical Consultant: Smith + Anderson Mechanical Contractor: True Mechanical Vancity video link: https://youtu.be/u7K_AluDCFU?si=O0jzA3P3DGdlXZpt Join our Community of Leaders!
