Stick Camp Canada 2021 is the 19th Chapman Stick gathering in British Columbia hosted by Vancouver Stick player Jim Meyer, each featuring international Stick players.
This year we take over 2nd Floor Gastown – a dining and performance space above the Water Street Cafe in the historic Gastown district of Vancouver.
The Georgia Strait is a part of the Salish Sea and separates mainland British Columbia from Vancouver Island. It is home to the Northern Gulf Islands (those islands north of the Vancouver Island city of Nanaimo) and the Southern Gulf Islands (south of Nanaimo).
Historic Gastown, Vancouver’s first neighbourhood, was names after “Gassy” Jack Deighton, a seaman and steamboat captain, but best known for opening the first saloon in the area.
