SUMMARY:Natalia Lafourcade – The Cancionera Tour
DESCRIPTION:Natalia Lafourcade\, one of the most influential voices in Latin music\, brings her Cancionera Tour to Vancouver’s Chan Centre. \nMaking her Vancouver debut\, she will perform with just her guitar and voice. Born in Mexico City\, she has spent over two decades reimagining Latin American music\, invigorating its heritage with her modern touch. \nDeclared the “21st Century’s Guardian of Cultural Memory” by NPR\, her work weaves Mexican folklore with pop and jazz\, and is held up as a “testament to the creativity and pride that unspools when one taps into tradition.” \nA master of innovation and collaboration\, Natalia Lafourcade has worked with icons across genres including Jon Batiste\, David Byrne\, Gustavo Dudamel\, and Los Ángeles Azules. Whether reinterpreting classics or debuting new works\, she creates transcendent experiences. \nWith 18 Latin Grammys—the most ever awarded to a female artist—four Grammys\, a Rolling Stone Legend Award\, and the title of first-ever Ambassador of Music for Peace at the 19th World Summit of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates\, Lafourcade’s impact is unparalleled. \nDon’t miss your opportunity to see Natalia Lafourcade in Vancouver in this intimate setting.

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:Multi-Agency Partnership (MAP) BC and the UBC Centre for Migration Studies (CMS) invite you to World Refugee Day 2026 — Strengthening Borders\, Weakening Rights? — from 12:00 pm to 3:30 pm at 312 Main\, Vancouver.\nWorld Refugee Day honours those who have been forced to flee their home countries to seek safety for themselves and their families elsewhere. At a time when growing global conflicts are displacing millions of people\, many countries are also closing their doors to those seeking protection by toughening legislation and criminalizing migrants. After decades of building a reputation as a country that welcomes refugees\, Canada has also joined this troubling trend. \nWith the passage of Bill C-12\, Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act\, Canada has moved away from its longstanding humanitarian values. The barriers it creates may leave many asylum seekers vulnerable\, without legal status or access to essential services. Are these laws strengthening border controls at the expense of refugees’ rights? What is the human cost of this Bill\, not just for those seeking protection\, but for the communities that seek to welcome them? \n\nProgram\n12:00 – 12:45 PM: Information Fair with Refugee Serving Agencies\n12:45 – 1:00 PM: Land Acknowledgement and Opening remarks by MAP BC and CMS\n1:00 – 2:30 PM: Panel Discussion: Bill C-12 and the Human Cost of Canada’s Border Reform\n2:30 – 2:50 PM: Storytelling\n3:00 – 3:30 PM: Information Fair with Refugee Serving Agencies\n\nAbout the Speakers\nPanel Discussion: Bill C-12 and the Human Cost of Canada’s Border Reform\nModerator\nDr. Lisa Ruth Brunner — Research Associate\, University of British Columbia Centre for Migration Studies \n\n\nSpeakers\nM. Yanni Nicolidakis-Mustafa — Lawyer\, Edelmann and Co \nSaleem Spindari — Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant and owner of Spindari Immigration Consulting Services \nDr. Evelyn Encalada Grez — Assistant Professor\, Labour Studies\, Sociology and Anthropology\, Simon Fraser University \n\nStorytelling\nShanga Karim — Kurdish–Canadian Writer and Journalist \n\nQuestions? Please contact admin.migration@ubc.ca.

SUMMARY:Powerful searching with Regular Expressions
DESCRIPTION:Regular expressions are a powerful and standardized way of representing patterns in text using special symbols and syntax. A core part of many programming languages\, search engines\, text editors\, and other commonly-used software\, regular expressions have a surprisingly wide array of uses\, from efficiently finding strings of text in large data sets\, to easily formatting complex documents\, to quickly replacing many small everyday tasks that might otherwise require writing shell scripts or other programs. \nThis hands-on workshop introduces regular expressions (regex) from the ground up. After this workshop\, attendees will understand basic regular expression syntax; they will be able to apply regex syntax in common applications; they will understand when it might be appropriate to use regex; and they will be able to analyze their own workflows and adapt regex solutions to support them. \nThis workshop is part of the Core Skills series. \nIf you have questions\, concerns\, or accessibility needs\, please email digital.scholarship@ubc.ca. \nTo keep up-to-date with all our workshops\, consults\, and events\, subscribe to the UBC Library Research Commons monthly newsletter.

SUMMARY:The Art of the French Macaron
DESCRIPTION:Is the mini sandwich cookie as challenging as they say it is? What if you could master this fancy treat with the same confidence as a Laduree pastry chef? In this workshop\, you’ll be guided step-by-step and learn successful tips for mastering the art of the delicate meringue. Participants will also learn to make a delightful filling from scratch\, and discover pairings to enhance the flavour profile of the macaron. It’s time to showcase how you’re taking your baking to the next level! \nGrowing up\, Sharon spent a healthy amount of time entrenched in the spines of cookbooks where she soon found her creative art-form in the hobby of baking. Fascinated by the science of precise ingredient combination and the calming nature of baking\, she quickly found herself immersed and comforted by food through working in fine-dining restaurants\, facilitating community cooking classes and even creating food content for fun. \nIn her classes\, Sharon enjoys adapting her approach to teach various ages across the lifespan\, from young kids all the way to seniors. Her teaching style encourages participants to take on new challenges/recipes in the kitchen\, such as re-creating fine-dining-like dishes at home\, and explore less frequent culinary ingredients that may soon become a household staple once explored. Above all\, she hopes to share her passion for food as a way to invite connection\, discover new traditions and cultivate a shared sense of warmth in every bite. \nIMPORTANT: A “Student / Senior discount” will be available to apply on the registration page. \nNote: Please bring a small tupperware container.

SUMMARY:UBC CPD: Midwifery Documentation Workshop (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Effective documentation is a critical component of midwifery care. Is your documentation clearly detailing your care? Are you leaving an intellectual footprint that is comprehensive and complete? Would some guidance help to ensure your record meets standards? Would you like to workshop with peers to refresh? \nIf you can use some support\, or just want to ensure you are documenting to standard\, join us for this online small group workshop. \nThere are three group Zoom workshops and one 45-minute individual coaching session. Each one-hour interactive workshop will include tailored exercises to assist in improving your own practice.
