This orientation is a shortened version of our weekend training. It will cover the basics of the Department of Bioregion, our theory of change, and what it means to be a Diplomat. After the orientation, each diplomat will be invited to join our Thursday parties (remotely or in person), and we reach one on one for additional on boarding.

The Cascadia Football Federation is delighted to announce that they have arranged their first ever international friendly on the 26th May against the Chagos Islands. The game will take place in the U.K. at Beckenham Town FC who we would like to thank for their cooperation in creating this fixture.

Join us this year as we celebrate this bioregional holiday.

What we’ve got:

• Potluck picnic with a hot grill provided

• Flag making station with craft supplies and poles

• Sewing assistant - bring your own fabric and we’ll help you get a hand made flag put together

• Fire Pit for evening songs and stories

• DJ for movin’ and groovin’

Cascadia Day is a day chosen to join together to help celebrate and raise awareness of Cascadia, meet our neighbors, and discuss and plan how we are going to positively create change here in the Pacific Northwest. Raise your flag, wear your patch, and join fellow Cascadians, building Cascadia as a positive force for change.

For Cascadia Culture Week, and on the eve of Cascadia Day, Cascadia Magazine and UpZones Podcast present a public panel discussion about thinking beyond borders in Cascadia—the bioregion that stretches from northern California to southeast Alaska. Join us for a lively conversation about how the concept of Cascadia can help us better understand a variety of issues across the region, whether it’s saving endangered orcas, fighting climate change, creating a regional high-speed rail corridor, or fostering dialogue between creative artists across the Pacific Northwest.
