Have you recently started your own business? This group is for you!

We meet every month on the 2nd Tuesday from 5:30pm-7pm at Torchlight Brewing, Nelson.

You’ll have a chance to do some networking, so bring those business cards! We’ll do a lightning round of elevator pitches and skill share (aka swap/trade skills) with other entrepreneurs.

Ali Hassan’s career plans started off as simply as anyone’s: become a chef, get a food show on television, get a second food show on television, be the face of the network and have oven mitts with his face on them. But sometimes things get in the way of your dreams: like your parents’ disappointment, your family of four children and your successful comedy career.

20/40 is an experimental theater show with twenty plays performed in forty minutes, and the audience picks the order!

All Musicians welcome!

We love showcasing incredible local talent so come down and show us yours. Or enjoy some great food, delicious drinks and even better talent live on stage.

Every Friday afternoon, the Nelson Royal Canadian Legion (402 Victoria Street – Stanley Street Entrance) holds meat & prize draws from 3 to 5 pm.  There is also often a 50/50 draw.  All proceeds to local charities.  Please come out and join us in a great community cause.

During the height of the Cold War, in the 1950s and 1960s, nearly 50 bunkers were constructed across Canada. In 2017, the Nelson Museum began work on restoring the space and opening it to the public. You can join a tour of one of the Museumʼs best-loved spaces!

In this 3 hour workshop I will teach you to make your own axe block that is the perfect working height for you. The axe block is the mini work bench of the carving world. A simple but very functional piece of portable equipment that is necessary for an enjoyable carving experience.

Join me for a full series of classes starting in January. This series includes all of the classes I offer curated in order of progression at a discounted rate.
