Nerd Nite
January 24 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Bringing in 2024 with three awesome presenters to quench your thirst for knowledge and …well hydration. We are excited to bring this fun event to the corridor and kicking it off in Squamish.
To kick off 2024, we have three presenters bringing what they’ve learned about coffee, bacteriophages and Viking ponies to you.
#1 Coffee with Mike from 1914
Coffee. Enough said.

#2 Bacteriophages with Holden Bonwit
What is tiny, deadly and everywhere? Bacteriophages! But not to worry. These weird looking micro assassins are on the human species’ side. Poised to be one of the superheroes in the medical world, bacteriophages can be used to disinfect, fight and destroy bad bacteria that would otherwise kill us. Where do they live? What do they infect? Why aren’t they harmful to humans? Are they dangerous to pets? How can I find and use them? This talk will pique your interest and answer some of these questions about these minuscule buggers.

#3 Marauding Ponies with Charlotte Jacklein
Start with Julius Caesar riding through Gaul astride his magnificent, tall steed on his way to invade the British Isles a generation after the birth of Christ. Now imagine Charlemagne riding into Lombard to accept its crown in 774 AD, sitting far above the heads of the crowd filling the streets. Lastly, picture a wind-swept field as Napoleon sits on his magnificent charger, comfortable in his mistaken certainty that he would win the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
