The Riley Park Community Garden, a project of the Little Mountain Neighbourhood House, arose through years of community consultations, gatherings, and planning to create a space that is much more than just a garden: member plots (many of which are wheelchair-accessible) will be overseen by community groups facing barriers to food security while our Serviceable Shed Project, Fieldhouse and unique garden layout will provide space for workshops, events, and community engagement. A pollinator garden, orchard, and native food forest will provide a bounty for the community and our diverse urban ecosystem. We promote food security by supporting neighbourhood organizations and charities with 100% of the food grown by our volunteers.

Sport BC is the non-profit sport federation, representing over 50 Provincial Sport Organizations in British Columbia. As a member-based organization, Sport BC offers services and programs to build the capacity of our members and advocate on their behalf to improve the landscape for organized sport in BC.
West Coast Beach Volleyball Society (WeCoBeVo) was born from a shared desire across the beach volleyball community to create a new path for youth in Western Canada to play and train, and have an equal chance to dream about representing Canada on the international
stage. At present, the only option is for athletes (of all ages) to move to Toronto to do so. The roots of our goals has led WeCoBeVo to becoming a community connector, a change instigator, and a fundraising entity that provides unique events that bring together all
facets of the volleyball community.
Funds raised are currently going towards: (1) helping support developing athletes in Western Canada to compete nationally and internationally; (2) enhancing Western Canada’s reputation as a competitive volleyball market that is developing future leaders in the sport; (3) developing a community spirit such that young athletes know they are supported through encouragement, development and financial opportunities as possible; (4) donations to
Jumpstart Charities, whose sole focus is to remove financial barriers for kids to participate in and learn from sport.
