Annual General Meeting 2022

Sense and Sensibility in the City of Gardens

September 30 – October 2, 2022, 

Victoria BC

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 were 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 were ready for a lovely getaway to our City of Gardens, and had a fantastic time celebrating our Jane, Sense and Sensibility, and everything Victoria has to offer.

When not at the conference, Victoria is a very easy place to explore, filled with both indoor and outdoor attractions. We enjoyed a very 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.

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