An upcoming cook-off fundraiser for Our Place’s first long-term women’s addiction recovery community on Vancouver Island was launched this week, with chefs picking the protein for the dishes they’ll create.
The women’s addiction recovery facility is set to open in the fall at New Roads Therapeutic Recovery Community. Janice Kalin, director of philanthropy at Our Place, said the new therapeutic recovery community for women will run alongside, but be completely separate from, the men’s program. Led by Baylea Wilkins and Michelle Maynard, the annual event has raised more than $435,800 for KidSport Greater Victoria since it started in 2021.Individuals and groups are encouraged to sign up to perform burpees, to sponsor someone or just to donate.
The photos are from Indigenous youth who participated in 2023 Tribal Journeys and the Queen Liliʻuokalani Outrigger Canoe Race in Kona, Hawaii. The exhibit is available for viewing during regular opening hours at the Nanaimo Harbourfront Library, 90 Commercial St. in Nanaimo.The online fundraising auction runs until June 28 at bit.ly/4c4X2TR.
Butterfield is the ambassador for the local event as well as the initiative’s top fundraiser, raising more than $2,200 to date. >>> Coast Capital executive honoured for advocacy An executive at Coast Capital has been chosen as a recipient of the Gary Gillam Award in recognition of her work as an advocate for social purpose on a national scale.
As part of her award win, Young was allocated $2,500 to donate to a local charity of her choice. She has selected the Threshold Housing Society, which provides support for youth at risk of homelessness, as the beneficiary of the donation.
