Habitat for Humanity Victoria’s premier fundraiser, the Gingerbread Showcase, sponsored by Revera will be opening for its 12th season with “Coastal Living” as the theme for 2020. Creations will be displayed online and in ten host locations in Downtown Victoria and Sidney for viewing.

Music By The Sea is joining forces with The Victoria Hospitals Foundation. They cannot do their traditional fundraising event they would normally hold in the Empress Ballroom, and so after working with them on this they have agreed to go forward together with a virtual fundraising event. It will feature classical and older jazz music. It will be live-streamed and be designed to be heard by patients in the hospitals and long term care facilities. Of course it can be watched by anyone and will be in the form of a telethon-styled event with a ticker tape below the video stream image, showing donations being recorded and tallied.
