Welcome

The JASNA Victoria, BC, Region invites you to return to Canada for the 2022 JASNA AGM, which will take place September 30–October 2, 2022.

It’s been quite a few years since a Canadian Region has hosted an AGM and even longer since Sense and Sensibility was the theme. We are so excited to have Janeites from across North America and abroad come to the City of Victoria, on Vancouver Island, to celebrate Jane’s first published novel.

Victoria has a rich JASNA history. One of JASNA’s three co-founders was Joan Austen-Leigh, a native of Victoria, BC and great-great grand-niece of Jane Austen. She also co-founded our Victoria Region, and we are proud to have her as part of our legacy in this corner of North America.

We know many JASNA members are ready for a lovely getaway to our City of Gardens, and we can guarantee you are going to have a fantastic time celebrating our Jane, Sense and Sensibility, and everything Victoria has to offer.

When not at the conference, you will find Victoria a very easy place to explore, filled with both indoor and outdoor attractions. We can’t wait to give you a warm welcome at our AGM, Sense and Sensibility in the City of Gardens.

Please be sure to peruse our other AGM pages to learn more about our conference theme, our three hotels, our conference centre facilities, and our gorgeous host city. Remember to check back often for updates as they are made available.

You are in for a real treat in this area of the Pacific Northwest in Canada!
