Dunster Community Groups

Dunster Community Association

Among other things, the Dunster Community Association owns and maintains the Dunster Community Hall, the Heritage Train Station, and the Dunster Community Picnic Site. The Association puts on the Ice Cream Social, the Mid-Winter Buy and Sell, the Summer Farmers Market, and the Dunster Winter Market.

It also provides a bursary to all Dunster students graduating from high school and continuing their education. All of these activities would not happen without the volunteer efforts of community members like yourself. So, if you're not involved, get involved! Come to a meeting, find out what is happening, find out what needs to be done, volunteer for something! The association holds three general meetings per year. Check out the events page for more information.

Dunster Community Quilt

Every year since 1976 (32 years!) "the Dunster ladies" have made a unique quilt which has been raffled to help support the swim program at the Dunster School. This program provides swimming lessons for every student in each of their elementary school years. 

We are always looking for people willing to take on the challenge of working their idea of the current theme onto a square of fabric and/or helping with hand quilting. 2008 theme is "Over the Fence".  Our goal is to have squares worked during December and January and to do the quilting in March. Anyone interested can talk with Marg Johnson (250-968-4351) or Bonnie Culp (250-968-4309) or pick up a square at the Dunster Store.

Sacred Circle Dance

The Dunster sacred dance circle holds more than 400 dances from around the world that represent different cultures, the wheel of life as represented by nature/agriculture and wildlife, the phases in our lives and the challenges we may confront and celebrate.

We dance with reverence and respect for those dances we reclaim. The ancient dance forms, thus renewed by our creative attention and participation, nourish our understanding of the body as sacred. This occurs on three levels: our individual bodies, the collective body of the dancing group moving as one, and the body of the earth upon whom we dance. Ultimately we seek the integration of ancient and modern forms of dance and ritual in a movement event that represents the DANCE OF LIFE itself. Circle dancing is a catalyst for integration within the self, communities and earth that has immediate as well as far reaching effects. There is a healing quality within the dance itself which enables people to become more poised and self confident within their bodies. The body and the heart learn these simple and flowing dances with ease.

The circle gathers at the Dunster Community Hall every second Saturday from 7pm to 9pm. For more information contact: Debby Ladouceur at 250-968-4429 or Nancy Taylor at 250-968-4358.
