Hilary Stewart’s seminal work ‘Cedar’ at work at Windy Bay, Haida Gwaii photo: Philip Stone Poets’ May Queen Corner Serene Aston - Speech Hello everyone, and welcome to May Day 2014! My name Voices is Serene and I’m honoured to be your May Queen this year. I would like to start by introducing the court. So please welcome Princess Ruby Nickoloff and her escort The late birds Charlie Wager, Princess Amelia Nimmon and her escort scattering half-truths Dominic Bakota, Princess Lavina Rendall and her escort Logan Radler, and Princess Sacajawea Tate and her escort trailing off... Cameron Bell. I would also like to welcome my escort Tosh Harvey and last year’s May Queen Sophie Bawks-Smith with her escort Derrek McPhee. primordial ohm of So when I moved to Quadra a few years ago, one of the deep earth and ocean undulation first things I wanted to experience here was May Day. secrets whispered on the rising tide Everybody was talking about it and getting excited, planning their floats, and volunteering to help. One of the things that I like about May Day on Quadra is that there spring runoff a whitewash is activities for everyone, whether you’re participating in the face painting, treasure hunts, sail boat racing or flushing dark things just watching the parade. May Day on Quadra is all about from cover connecting with people, following traditions, and having fun!

I think that festivals like this are important at any time in history or place in the world. Like broadside pastel my dad said, in his culture all the way in Indonesia, they had grease pole competitions at their shading grey and grey and grey festivals as well. He described how tall the poles were and the prizes such as; clothing, kitchen utensils, or even bikes hanging from the top of the poles. Or the Vikings who lived all the way ceilings, surfaces back in the Middle Ages, they had at least three major festivals a year. a fragile containment May Day celebrations come from Beltane, the festival of spring celebrated by the Druids, combined with the ancient Roman festival, Floralia, honouring the goddess of flowers.

You can be still here. Be still. May Day has been celebrated in Europe for centuries, and when British settlers came to Quadra over 100 years ago they brought the festival here. The first May Day on Quadra was celebrated in Cape Mudge with a picnic and races.

Annette Yourk loves to play in the field of So a big thank you to everyone who made May Day happen, and thank you all for coming out words: stories, poems, conversations... today to celebrate another successful May Day and I hope you enjoy it! She also teaches and is a freelance editor.
