✨ Celebrating another year of connection and impact!

We’re proud to support youth, seniors, and the broader community through meaningful connections. Thank you to everyone who joined us at our AGM last night—we’re so grateful you were part of it.

A special thank you to our incredible volunteers, community partners, and staff. And to Sands Funeral Chapel Cremation and Reception Centre Duncan for the space, Jaro W for the live entertainment, Duncan Garage Cafe & Bakery for the delicious cake, and the Auxiliary to Cowichan District Hospital for their thoughtful donation of washcloths for our sensory experience.

We’d also like to extend heartfelt thanks to Board member Shirley Smith as she steps down from her role as Secretary. We are so grateful for her dedication and are glad she’ll continue to support us through her volunteer efforts.

Together, we make community happen. 💙
