They are relatively easy to monitor, and an army of talented and enthusiastic birders is available to gather data on a continental scale. Bird species diversity and varied habitat preferences allow biologists to find patterns in bird population trends that can inform polices on ecosystem management. In 2012 bird biologists brought together data from a wide range of surveys from across Canada to assess the status of the country's birds, the first time this had ever been done for any major group of animals. This talk is part of the Biodiversity Lecture Series, organized jointly by the Biodiversity Research Centre and the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. https://www.beatymuseum.ubc.ca/bls/state-canada-birds -- March 6 - 7, 2014 Vancouver Opera: Don Giovanni Mozart's musical and dramatic portrait of the world's most infamous lover presented in a spectacular new co-production with The Banff Centre. Don Giovanni is a dangerously attractive aristocrat and serial seducer who leaves death and destruction in his wake. Defying both society and God in his reckless pursuit of gratification, he manages to evade the vengeful retribution of his most outraged victims, only to self-destruct in a surreal encounter with a curse-hurling stone statue. Mozart’s musical and dramatic portrait of this complex character, and of those whose lives he stains, is Shakespearean in its understanding of human nature. Filled with wisdom and beauty, and by turns funny and terrifying, Don Giovanni is a towering creation, which we honour with a spectacular new co-production featuring state-of-the-art stage technology and design.

In Deborah's works, singular images symbolic of childhood innocence and freedom emerge as emptied human?hewn platforms. Dangling precariously and juxtaposed against violent skies, the platforms suggest fallout that alludes to our current and necessary preoccupation with climate change and the tentative, solitary relationships we have with our shared environment. Tension and movement are purposely wrought in all of her paintings through the use of stark contrasts in colour value and intensity, form and line. www.deborahbakos.com District Library Gallery, exhbitions@nvartscouncil.ca // 604-988-6844 // www.nvartscouncil.ca -- Ongoing until March 23, 2014 Museum of Vancouver Presents: Play House: The Architecture of Daniel Evan White' Daniel Evan White knew exactly how to play with houses.
