SISKA Monthly Meeting

We are pleased to meet in-person in the Garth Homer Centre's spacious auditorium, 813 Darwin Ave, Victoria.

Please join us to hear John Kimantas: Westcoast Publishing and Dream Trips along our Coast

John has worked at several daily newspapers across Canada, beginning as a cub reporter in The Pas, Manitoba, in 1986, moving on to become a magazine editor in Ontario and then managing editor at a daily newspaper in Nanaimo. When arriving in BC he was struck by Vancouver Island’s natural beauty.
John took an immediate interest in the water and explored the coast by kayak. He was disappointed to see that most road maps did not include many backroads or other info/features that lay close to the water. John struggled to find a comprehensive guide to help access the world of recreational wonderment that he knew Vancouver Island held. As a result, John began to write and research his first book, The Essential Vancouver Island Outdoor Recreation Guide.
Since then, John has founded Wild Coast Publishing and is the author of the BC Coast Explorer Guide Book series, BC coastal recreation map sheets / Deck Topper series and hiking/trail topographic maps. He also helped BC Marine Trails develop their incredible series of online maps.
John will talk on the new resources his company is producing for paddlers plus speak about his dream trips and why they remain his favourite destinations when it comes to locations to visit again. There will be copies of Wild Coast publications available for sale at the meeting. Further information is available at www.thewildcoast.ca.
Please join us at 7:00pm at the Garth Homer Centre, 813 Darwin Avenue, Victoria BC V8X 2X7.
