Quakers in Victoria

This web page is intended to help facilitate regular updates to the online Meeting calendar, found on the homepage of https://viquakers.ca. With many Friends preferring to participate in the Meeting for Worship online or unable to regularly attend Meeting for Worship in-person, we cannot rely on Meeting announcements as the only way for Friends to know about upcoming events. This is also an accessibility concern, with some Friends unable to hear all the Meeting announcements made at the end of in-person Meeting for Worship.

For Meeting announcements in Meeting for Worship or updates to regular events with specific information (i.e. a Soup and Stories to include the name of the person sharing and a summary of their presentation), this is the process for calendar updates:

1. At the end of a Sunday Meeting (in-person or virtual), the Meeting closer reminds attendees about step 2 in this process.
2. On the day in which an attendee makes a Meeting-related announcement during the announcements period at the end of a Meeting for Worship (in-person or virtual), the attendee should email communications-committee@viquakers.ca In the subject line of the email, please indicate that the email relates to the calendar.
3. The Communications Committee member designated to do calendar updates will check their email at 5:00 p.m. on the Monday after Sunday Meetings for Worship. This member will verify the information is meant to go in the calendar and will follow-up with the sender if additional information is required.
4. The Communications Committee member designated to do calendar updates will put in the updates by the end-of-day Tuesday. If further emails from those who made announcements are received after this day then the calendar will not be updated with the new information until the following week.
5. If you have any questions, please email communications-commitee@viquakers.ca. Thank you for your help in stewarding our Meeting!
