The Department of Linguistics hosts regularly scheduled colloquia and special events each year. In addition to these events, the University of Victoria's visiting scholar programs allow us to bring renowned scholars to Victoria for a week or a term to deliver a series of lectures and participate in the life of the University.

The Department has also hosted various workshops and conferences over the years, including the Salish Morphosyntax Workshop, the International Conference on Salish and Neighbouring Languages, and the TEAL Conference.
