Colwood’s new arts centre is called the Goldfinch Arts Centre. Featuring visual arts and a beautiful reading space, it’s perched near the Esquimalt Lagoon, with walking trails and a poetry post nearby. Barbara Pelman and I gave the inaugural poetry reading there in October, accompanied by musicians Doug & Shelley Thorsteinson, and David Grove, one of the municipality’s councilors who helped make this centre a reality.
