SUMMARY:Back to Science Slam
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the wonder of Science Slam! We are Vancouver’s most epic science showdown. Sit back\, relax\, and watch as our competitors battle to achieve science communication fame and glory while learning something new in our back-to-school themed event. \nWhat exactly is a science slam? Based on the format of a poetry slam\, a science slam is a competition where speakers gather to share their science with you – the audience. Competitors have five minutes to present on any science topic without the use of a slideshow and are judged based on communication skills\, audience impact and scientific content. Props and creative presentation styles are encouraged — no slides! \nInterested in competing as a Slammer for this event? No formal science background needed\, just some enthusiasm for science. Fill out our application here! \nDoors open at 7pm\, event begins at 7:30pm. \nEarly bird tickets are $12 (limited number). Get your ticket now! \nFull price tickets are $15. \nSee you there! \nNotes: \nThe venue is wheelchair accessible. The main cabaret room is accessible through a ramped entrance. We also have a wheelchair accessible washroom in the space as well. \nVenue is a 19+ venue with non-gendered bathrooms. \nMasks are not required but they are encouraged. \nScience Slam acknowledges that this event takes place on the traditional\, ancestral\, and unceded territory of the Squamish\, Musqueam\, and Tsleil Waututh Nation. Many of our attendees\, Science Slam included\, are guests of these territories and must act accordingly. \nScience Slam is an inclusive event\, as a result hate speech and abuse will not be tolerated.

SUMMARY:25th Annual Life Sciences BC Awards Presented by Farris
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 14\, 2023\, as we celebrate the 25th Annual Life Sciences BC Awards presented by Farris. This distinguished occasion provides a unique opportunity for British Columbia’s vibrant life sciences community to gather and celebrate its members’ outstanding achievements and recognize the tireless efforts of those who have devoted their careers to advancing health innovations. \nEmbracing its status as Canada’s fastest-growing life sciences sector\, our BC ecosystem is currently witnessing unparalleled momentum in scientific discovery\, innovation\, capital attraction\, and the cultivation of talent. This remarkable progress extends beyond geographical boundaries\, positively impacting patient health on a global scale while building a resilient and sustainable life science sector within our local community. \nThe Life Sciences BC Awards celebrate and honor the exceptional individuals and organizations that serve as catalysts in propelling the sector forward. \nBuilding upon the success of last year\, we are delighted to offer not one but TWO excellent ways to be a part of this extraordinary event. Alongside the distinguished central Awards Gala room\, we are excited to reintroduce the highly popular Awards Networking and Viewing Reception Room.

SUMMARY:Pars for Prostate Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Prostate Cancer Foundation BC is proud to present our second annual golf tournament. This project idea was brought to us by a man whose father was diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer 5 years ago. The father is still doing well\, and we are finally able to say that this is an annual event. Join us during Prostate Cancer Awareness month for our second golf tournament. \nOne in eight Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. On average 66 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every day and 12 men lose their life to this disease daily. \nEvery level of golf player is welcome at the Pars for Prostate tournament. In order to facilitate a smooth running tournament we are running this event with a Texas Scramble format with a shotgun start.
