VBN Holiday Breakfast

This past Friday, our Victoria Store Manager, Megan Johns, attended the VBN's holiday breakfast meeting at Solstice Cafe. It was a wonderful way to start the day. Over 25 like minded business owners and individuals came together to celebrate the holidays, and collect donations for the food bank. It was a wonderful way to get to know members of the sustainable business culture in Victoria. In attendance were individuals from Green Collective businesses, fair trade organizations, and even Denise Savoie, our local MP.

Fiber Options Naturals at The Hair Garden Salon

On Thursday June 4th, Fiber Options Naturals Victoria attended an open house at The Hair Garden Salon. The event was a part of the VBN's Member Hosted Open House series. It was an evening of networking in the intimate and gorgeous setting of The Hair Garden Salon. The Hair Garden is owned and operated by the spunky and passionate Jennifer Davies. The Salon is located in the Railyards, and is a home based business. It is an eco-friendly, ammonia free zone, where the features of 20% off Mom Makeover Mondays, and "Baby Sitter on Board" are exceptionally great for mums looking to be pampered in a kid friendly zone! We had a great time with this fellow VBN and Green Collective member. We think it is a great service that Jennifer is offering, so we decided to feature it on our blog!

Values Based Business Network

Fiber Options Naturals Victoria is a charter member of the Victoria Values Based Business Network, or VBN for short. We would like to profile this great organization in our blog, as it has provided us with great networking and educational opportunities since its start in 2004. The VBN is southern Vancouver Island's only organization specifically designed for progressive businesses. It is a place where we have gone to meet, mingle with, and learn from other sustainable and values based businesses in town. The VBN provides monthly networking opportunities as well as many educational events such as workshops and panel discussions. Fiber Options Naturals wanted to give back to this great organization, and so a few months ago, our Victoria Store Manager ran for a VBN board position. She was elected on, and has been excited to be working with them ever since. Community involvement is a huge part of Fiber Options' Values, so it could not have been a better fit to have a Fiber Options' representative serving on the VBN board!
