Community events and fundraising in British Columbia

Overview

Community events and fundraising initiatives are occurring across various regions in British Columbia. In Sooke, the third annual Sooke Grand Parade raised over $16,000 to support the development of the Sooke Gathering Place, a proposed drop-in centre for seniors, youth, and families. Additionally, the Sooke Region Museum held its second annual Crabfest to fund the replacement of heritage shields.

In other parts of the province, cultural and environmental activities are also underway. The Surrey and White Rock region is preparing for the annual Culture Crawl to showcase local artists, while the Surrey & White Rock Environment & Business Awards recognized companies for environmental awareness. Fundraising efforts for youth services are being conducted in the Okanagan and Kelowna regions through donation matching and art auctions, and the Chilliwack Academy of Music recently held a fundraiser via the BC Tasting Festival.
