Time to get your summer on, and join us in the Oak Bay Tea Party Parade this Saturday!
Your Community Association wants you to join us with your bicycles, wagons, or even just your feet. We would love to see members out to have fun, and which will of course, draw new members. And you know how that works…the more, the merrier!
We are going to keep it simple again this year, with a no-emissions float…okay, small exception…we are keeping up the tradition of bubbles! We ride our bikes or walk together, bubble wands in hand (which the kids watching seem to LOVE), we laugh, we carry our banner and we have a great time, all while raising our community profile.
The Annual Tea Party Parade is an Oak Bay tradition. If you’re just out to watch, it begins on Saturday at 10:30AM from Windsor Park. The 45 minute parade winds through the streets of Oak Bay, ending at Willows Beach Park.
It’s time again for our Annual General Meeting! Please join us for elections of new Directors, and a presentation by Saanich Councillor Vic Derman on The Natural City.

We had a great time riding (and walking) in the 48th Annual Oak Bay Tea Party Parade yesterday! We had more members come out to join us, and the crowds were fantastic! It sure helped that the sun shone, and we all got a welcome (albeit brief) reprieve from the cold, wet weather that has marred this Spring.
We decorated with some balloons, ribbon, fresh flowers, and some very creative minds. The crowd-pleaser was the bubbles, so this will definitely be a tradition to carry on for years to come.
We also handed out cards with a link to how to host a Block Party in Oak Bay. We are encouraging Oak Bay to connect with their neighbours by having a block party this summer. There’s no better way to build community than by organizing a party together, and having some fun!
You can see some photos of our cycling community association sensation on our flickr photostream.
Time to get your summer on, and join us in the Oak Bay Tea Party Parade! The Tea Party begins this Saturday!
Your Community Association needs you to join us with your bicycles, wagons, or even just your feet. We hope to have a good number of members out to have fun, and draw new members. The more, the merrier! We had a great time in the parade last year, and hope you’ll come out and join us in raising our community profile.
We’ll be handing out cards with our website address, and a link to how to plan a block party. Our mission is to build community by neighbours getting to know each other at their annual block party.
We’ll also be blowing bubbles.
Please meet us on the street beside Windsor Park Pavilion at 9:30AM. We’ll bring some extra decorations for your bicycles. The parade begins at 10:30 AM. Here’s a map of the parade, in case you’re curious.
When: Saturday, June 5, 2010
Where to meet: Windsor Park
What time: 9:30AM
What to bring: Your bicycle (what a way to wrap up Bike to Work Week!), your kids, your wagon, and bubbles if you’ve got ‘em.
See you Saturday!
Thanks for your support,
Michelle Kirby
Hey Neighbours! Summer is just around the corner, and it’s time to relax and have some laid back, good times with your neighbours!
If you would like to have a block party this summer, now’s the time to put in your email requests to Oak Bay Council! If you want the freedom of a street closed to traffic for your party (street hockey, bicycle races, and people in general enjoy a street without cars!) then you’ll need permission from Council to do it.
All you have to do is send an email to Oak Bay Council at
indicating the date of the party, times and duration of the street closure that you are requesting.
Once you’ve figured out a date with your neighbours, have asked and been granted the street closure from Council, try checking out our Oak Bay Block Party Checklist and get started on your party plan!
