The Camas Bookstore and Infoshop is a not-for-profit infoshop located at 2620 Quadra Street in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
History
A collective which included Allan Antliff started off renting shelf space at Dark Horse Books in Victoria.[1] Camas was then established at 2590 Quadra Street on the corner of Kings Road, in September 2007.[2][3]
The infoshop is named after the camas plant (camassia quamash), which was grown by the local Lekwungen nation.[4] The project aimed to publicise social justice perspectives and to make solidarity links to social movements worldwide. The space was intended to be as accessible as possible.[3]
