Guess who Ben got to meet this morning?
Actor and rapper Ice Cube was in Victoria over the weekend for a show and was kind enough to pose for a picture with Parkside Guest Services Team member Ben in the lobby!

Hi all,
I wanted to share an event I am hosting this coming Saturday (March 19) for 1073 KOOL FM. It's for the Persian Community as its their NEW YEARS.
Tickets are only $10 and there will be singing, belly dancers, a DJ, plus door prizes and more. Food and drink is also on hand as well.
Just thought you might like to see something different than the usual Saturday night bar scene! Here is the email invite:
Come celebrate Norooz (Persian/Iranian New Year) with us this year!
A Persian celebration of the New Year and the rebirth of Earth and the community. This event is open to families and community members of all ages and will feature a MC, DJ, belly dancers, food and displays of Iranian traditions associated with the New Year celebration.
Shine up those dancing shoes and come one and come all!
Hi everyone,

Coming March 12th to the Parksville Community and Conference Centre!
I went to see a Micheal Buble concert last weekend and stayed at the Aviawest in Vancouver (located in the Rosedale on Robson) - it was so awesome!
My friends and I had an amazing girls weekend!

I have booked the theatre for this Thursday, May 27 for Michael Jackson's This Is It as I have a group of women I am working with right now and one of the moms is bringing a couple of 12-year-olds who love MJ.
In celebration of Chantal Babin's Free the Children Fundraiser, "Children helping Children," 12-year-old Zoe has asked me to do a Toonie 50/50 draw after the showing of This Is It to give to the fundraiser.
When you hear a song that gets you pumped, it can really make your day.
I heard an inspiring song on the radio at the Fort Street office today and our young-ish director of talent mentioned that he was stumped by a question someone being interviewed asked him:
"If Aviawest Had A Theme Song, What Would It Be?"
A thought-provoking question on this Friday afternoon. I'll put it to the creative people we work with to get some suggestions so that Mr. Rose is never stumped again when he gets asked the same question.
Please leave your suggestions in the Comments field underneath.
Cheers,
- Jay M. Smith, Director of Guest Experience and Property Standards
