Where to Find Lions Gate Quilters Guild Event Dates and Calendar Details

Event dates and calendar details for Lions Gate Quilters Guild are posted on the guild's own website, lionsgatequiltersguild.com. The homepage carries a monthly calendar listing — the September 2026 schedule is shown there and can be downloaded as a file — and it points to separate pages for events that need registration, such as COPS Day and the Community Quilts SEWcial Day. The site also advises checking back regularly for updated event details and dates.

What the monthly calendar shows

The posted September 2026 calendar is a good example of the format. It mixes business deadlines, sewing sessions, and the monthly guild meeting in one list:

Two things are worth noting from this layout. First, the calendar is the single place where recurring items — executive meetings, newsletter deadlines, sewing days — appear together, so it is the fastest way to see what is happening in a given month. Second, the September guild meeting included a program item: an open microphone on the theme "What I did this summer," with members invited to bring summer projects and stories, plus a reminder to return library books borrowed in May.

Where registration is required

Not every event is drop-in. The calendar entry for COPS Day and for the Community Quilts SEWcial Day both direct you to their own pages for registration and details, rather than giving sign-up information in the calendar itself. If you plan to attend either, start from the calendar entry and follow the link to the relevant page.

Recurring features tied to meetings

The guild also runs a Block of the Month (BOM) program alongside its meetings. The June BOM was the "Sweet Treat" block; members can make as many blocks as they like and bring them to the September meeting, with each block entry earning one draw ticket. At the end of the meeting, the winner or winners take all the blocks home. If you want to take part, the pattern and timing come from the BOM announcements rather than the calendar list.

Other events and external listings

The site also flags events run by other groups. One example: on October 3, the Sunshine Coast Quilters Guild is hosting "Hands Across the Water" in Sechelt, with information available on that guild's own website. These outside events are listed under an "Other Events" heading and link away from lionsgatequiltersguild.com, so details and any registration live with the hosting organization.

Practical tips for checking dates

• Start with the homepage calendar for the current month, then download the calendar file if you want to keep the dates in your own planner.
• Check the specific event page (COPS, Community Quilts) before attending anything that requires registration.
• Watch for newsletter deadlines if you contribute content — the September deadline was the 9th, with the newsletter emailed to members on the 15th.
• Note that some sessions happen at St Andrew's & St Stephen's, while others are listed without a venue in the calendar summary.
• The site explicitly asks visitors to come back and check for event details and dates, so treat the posted calendar as the current source rather than a fixed annual schedule.
