Stephanie Lang - Vancouver Island Star


You'd hardly believe Stephanie Lang was just past her teen years. Her confidence and talent on-stage is comparable to someone far beyond her years. She knew as early as 5 years old she wanted to be a performer. She appeared along side Jamie-Lynn Spears in an E-Kara commercial. Stephanie started writing her own music at 12. Amazingly she recorded and released her first cd at 15. The evidence shows she was passionate and knew where she wanted to go with her life from a very early start.

Stephanie is from the small town of Ladysmith, here on Vancouver Island. She performed extensively on Vancouver Island and Vancouver, notably given the title of Vancouver Island Idol Champion in 2005.

In 2006 she won a 4 song contract through HipJoint Records

for winning the 94.5 The Beat Music Award Contest.

I recently went to see Stef play at The Roxy in Vancouver, I was absolutely amazed at her talent. This is a girl who can sing, play guitar AND writes her own music. She will be playing soon at the following locations:

Prawning in Nanaimo

Between Piper's Lagoon and Neck Point Park in Nanaimo   Since prawning is open year round (in most areas always check the BC Sport Fishing Guide to learn of possible closures in your area) my dad and I decided to brave the unpredictable winter weather and head out just off of Neck Point Park to drop some prawn traps.   There are actually 6 species of shrimp/prawns that thrive off the British Columbia coast, but we were after the largest of the species; the local spot prawn. Large females can exceed 23 cm in total length! You can tell a spot prawn by 3 distinct white horizontal bars on their head area and two white spots on their first and fifth abdominal segment. Prawns are male in their second and third year, then becomes female in the third or fourth year, eggs can be found on the underside of their abdomen Oct - March.
