The very first Little Local Crew envelopes are heading out to families across Greater Victoria!

Crew members receive 4 seasonal snail-mail packages, filled with a letter from Alfie the owl, local discovery ideas, and fun surprises for kids.

It’s a little moment of magic, designed to help families explore, create, and enjoy the season together.

Our founding members’ envelopes are en route, but I may still be able to squeeze a few more into this week’s batch.

Join the Crew before we close until summer!
