Sidewalk Talk is a community listening project supported by the Victoria Downtown Residents Association and Business for Humans. We are a group of volunteers who practice heart-centered listening in public spaces. Our goal is to create a connected society, promote a sense of belonging and human connection, and to build community through listening. We practice listening to experience the power of connection, and to promote feelings of being seen and heard.

We will be listening in the courtyard at the Central Branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library (735 Broughton Street) from 11 am to 1 pm. Show up at any time in this range that works for you. One of our volunteers will sit with you and listen for around 10 minutes, during which you can share whatever is on your mind or in your heart.

Please help us spread the word by sharing the Facebook event, inviting people and bringing friends on the day of!
