#KnowledgeBit: A #Langford pairing is a sequence of numbers 1 through n, each appearing twice, where the two occurrences of each number are separated by a distance equal to that number.
Finding these pairings is a combinatorial puzzle with applications in areas like error correction and cryptography.
Community-funded primary care clinic opens in Langford, B.C., others planned in Victoria and Metchosin
The Goldstream Medical Clinic opened after months of community fundraising and recruitment efforts, in an effort by community groups and the city of Langford to address a shortage of physicians on the south island.

Over the past year, the #LifeCycles team has been taking a deep dive into reimagining what the #SeedLibrary can be. With the help of many dedicated volunteers, we’ve spent significant time sorting and organizing seeds, and we’re excited to share what’s coming next.
By the end of February, #seed #donation bins will be launched at each of #GreaterVictoriaPublicLibrary branches. The Seed Library at the Broughton branch in downtown Victoria, which will both collect and distribute seeds, is expected to be fully functional by March.
We are also shifting how #seeds are accessed at the #library to make them more #accessible and increase their reach. The Seed Library will function more like a Seed Box - prioritizing ease of access, because we believe that access to seeds—especially amid rising food costs—is an important part of local #foodsecurity.
Alongside this, we are planning to continue the Seed Library’s core work of growing out heirloom and locally adapted varieties so they remain accessible in our region. As these seeds become available, we will put these seeds into rotation in the Broughton Branch Seed Library.

We’re also planning two #SeedWorkshops this year — a beginner workshop in the spring and a more advanced workshop in the summer. More details coming soon!
