Next month we will be discussing 'This Is How It Always Is' by Laurie Frankel.
Please join us whether or not you are able to read the book!

November 2nd, 2026
🕑 6:30-8:30pm
❣ Island Bagel and Bannock

"This Is How It Always Is is a novel about revelations, transformations, fairy tales, and family. And it’s about the ways this is how it always is: Change is always hard and miraculous and hard again; parenting is always a leap into the unknown with crossed fingers and full hearts; children grow but not always according to plan. And families with secrets don’t get to keep them forever."

Hope to see you there!✨

What a lovely morning at our last Revolve in the Park gathering of the season. Thank you to those that facilitated the Pizza oven and thank you to everyone in community for coming together. With a local election on the horizon it is more important than ever to build sustainability within our communities. It was great to see folks from different walks of life, organizations, councils and candidacies show up to engage in relevant, meaningful and critical conversations.
