This year, Japanese American Memorial Pilgrimages and the National Park Service will be hosting the second annual “Tadaima! A Community Virtual Pilgrimage.”
CBC Victoria’s Gregor Craigie, host of
On the Island, has long been fascinated with the impending “Big One” due for western North America. During his career, he’s interviewed everyone to do with earthquakes: seismologists, engineers, geophysicists, survivors, emergency planners and more. His new book
On Borrowed Time, out in late September, revisits the quakes that came and the quakes to come.

O Sea Now Open in Old Towne Orange
June 10, 2021
Designated as an ocean-friendly restaurant by the Surfrider Foundation, the newest addition to Orange keeps sustainability at the forefront.

With a goal of becoming a neighborhood favorite, O Sea provides an approachable atmosphere. Newly added skylights, large pendant lights, greenery, and blue and yellow accents brighten the 110-year-old building, which was originally a grocery store. Original features such as the brick walls and wood floors were preserved. O Sea partners with local organizations such as the weekly Orange Home Grown Farmers & Artisans Marke
