COAST SALISH TERRITORY/SQUAMISH, BC - The Howe Sound Women’s Centre Society’s and Whistler Blackcomb Foundation announce an exciting opportunity to have your donations matched dollar for dollar up to $70,000 for a much-needed renovation to the Squamish Drop-In Centre! We are absolutely thrilled to announce a matching gift incentive facilitated by the generosity of the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation! Of the $450,000 total renovation budget, the society had $140,000 more to rai...se when the WBF came on board. From now until January 31, 2020 all donations received towards the renovation project will be matched dollar to dollar, up to $70,000, bringing us to our total fundraising goal! Says Ashley Oakes, the society’s executive director. Howe Sound Women’s Centre will begin renovating the Squamish Drop-In Centre in the new year in order to expand much needed support services to survivors of gender-based violence. This much anticipated renovation will ensure the society is able to continue to meet the growing needs of the communities of the Sea to Sky Corridor by significantly increasing programming space through the relocation of administrative offices onto the second floor. Explained Oakes, when describing the project. The renovation will include the addition of more children’s counselling space, crisis support rooms, and a group facilitation area. Additionally, by moving administrative offices to the second floor, we have the capacity to grow our team in the future, ensuring we are able to provide much needed supportive services to all survivors of gender-based violence for years to come. We are reaching out to the community for your support to help get us across the finish line in our fundraising efforts by participating in the Whistler Blackcomb Foundations matching gift campaign!
