Since 2006, Wednesday evenings in April belong to the Masterminds lecture series. Every year, there’s a new roster of entertaining speakers who delve into their personal passions to bring you engaging and visual presentations on an eclectic range of subjects.

All talks take place from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.

Masterminds is sponsored by the UVic Retirees Association and UVic’s Institute on Aging and Lifelong Health, with support from the university.
