Seasonal events to attend that support Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island this holiday season

The holiday season is just around the corner, and you can make plans to enjoy the festivities and give back at the same time! We’re grateful to partner with Hotel Grand Pacific again this season, and together, we will be hosting family-friendly, holiday festivities all season long.

For all events, all proceeds will support Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island.
