Vancouver Island Heather Society

Launched in 1991, the Society draws members from Victoria and an area of southern Vancouver Island stretching up to Nanaimo and including the Gulf Islands.  The Society hosted the 2002 NAHS Silver Anniversary conference.

Meetings and Events

Meetings are held at the Mill Bay Masonic Lodge, 2742 Lashburn, Mill Bay, B.C.
Society business is followed by a study session with a speaker.  Members frequently participate in the showing and judging of heathers.
During the summer months, field trips are organized and a business meeting occupies only a small amount of time at these events.
