Celebration of Life- Luce Victoria LeBlanc
(image description)
“The poster is a black and white photograph of a party moment, with Luce standing sideways on the right side, head turned left at the camera. She has her hair long and straight, with front-parted eyebrow-length bangs, and black-eyelined eyes looking straight at the camera. Luce makes a slight smile with a small silver-ball pierce at the corner of her left upper lip and wears a denim jacket with three small round pins on the top left. Victoria holds a half-full glass of white wine in her right hand.
The words “Celebration of Life” are at the flyer top in a rainbow-coloured semi-script font. The same font at the bottom reads “Luce Victoria LeBlanc.”
In the same smaller font, in light yellowish-white, “Saturday, November 3, 2018, 1:00 – 3:00 pm.” Below this, in smaller, different white font: “Burnaby Central Secondary School, 6011 Deer Lake Parkway, Conference Room A206, British Columbia, Canada”
“Come dressed in Luce-style fashion! (colourful, sparkly and bold).”
On the black edge of the poster’s right margin, finely printed in white text: “Photo credit: Breanna & Lyle Muresan. Flyer Artist: Jodi Lynn Birley.”

Sea Star Wasting Disease and how it Impacts BC’s Entire Ecosystem/ Ocean Matters October Lecture with ASL Interpreters
Tuesday, 23-Oct-2018 @ 7pm (Doors 6.30pm)
Since 2013, millions of sea stars have died along the west coast of North America.
These sea stars started showings bizarre symptoms. They developed skin lesions, which progressed to the sea stars losing their limbs, and finally causing the disintegration of the whole animal. This outbreak confused, and worried scientists, as sea stars are a ‘keystone species’. This means that a large loss in sea star numbers could cause a large change in their ecosystem as a whole.
Scientists are spending a lot of time figuring out what was causing these symptoms and how we can help fight this outbreak. They learnt that a virus is causing this disease, but they are still looking for exactly which virus it is.
In this talk, Dr. Alyssa Gehman will explore the current state of sea star wasting disease in British Columbia. She will discuss how the response to the disease changes along the coast, how the virus affects different sea star species and how this knowledge can help us fight this disease!
