Brainstorm for 2022 BC SRC Theme!

First though, we want to do a little brainstorming and we’d love your help! Are there any theme suggestions you’d like to have included in the mix? Add a comment or use the form below and we’ll add them to the list!

We’ll leave the brainstorm open till August 15th. The following week we’ll send out a short-list of themes and then it will be time to vote on the three “finalists”.

Suggestions so far:

• Empowered
• All Together Now (emotions/sharing/mental health)
• Fizz, Boom, Read (science/learning)
• Paws to Read (pets/animals)
• Dream Big – Read (growth/dreams/learning)
• Environment / Nature
• First nations theme – spirit animals (Activity ideas: kids creating their own family pole with meaningful spirit animals)
• Brainstorming – Just as you wrote in your email, and also a little play on Victoria Public Library’s recent marketing award.
• We All Belong (celebrate diversity/multiculturalism)
• “Underground”, Sub-theme ideas: Tunnels (Chunnel; railway construction; mining (Britannia Mine partnership?); gold rush), Animal homes (BC animals including Burrowing Owls; badgers; moles), Geology (caves; rocks and minerals; volcanoes; plate tectonics; earthquakes), Archaeology, Paleontology (who doesn’t like dinosaurs?), Utilities (sewers; wells; water mains; fire hydrants; electrical conduits; underground streams), Bugs (ants, worms, bacteria), Underground Railway, French underground resistance in WWII, Underground homes for people (e.g. Coober Pedy in Australia), Bunkers, Catacombs
