Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation's Grand Gala, "Under the Big Top," presented by Snowcrest Foods, emerged as a dazzling spectacle that captured the spirit of the circus. The night kicked off with the enchanting performances of a fire juggler, stilt walker, and an awe-inspiring contortionist, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening in our lavishly adorned ballroom. Amidst the splendor, guests indulged in carnival revelry, engaging in games such as the High Striker, Clowning Around, Bushel Basket Toss, and the whimsical Ring Toss. Rocky Mountain Chocolate in Harrison Hot Springs added a sweet touch, offering tantalizing Caramel Apples for purchase, sweetening the pot for the fundraising efforts. A notable highlight was the Ring Toss, where skillful participants had the chance to win a bottle of wine by landing their ring on a full bottle—a heartfelt thank you to Blueridge Liquor Store for generously contributing to this lively game. Navigating the High Striker proved to be a challenging yet exhilarating endeavor, with fierce competition ensuring a fabulous time for all attendees. The evening's festivities were expertly hosted by the charismatic Howard Blank, whose mastery of the ringmaster's role spurred an impressive $11,550 in contributions during the live auction. In a display of generosity, the Abbotsford Canucks donated two suite games, accommodating 14 enthusiasts each, while Lanka Jewels adorned the event with a dazzling touch by contributing a beautiful diamond tennis bracelet. The "Fund a Need" initiative stole the spotlight, generating an astounding $31,000 earmarked for supporting the critical needs of Abbotsford Regional Hospital, Chilliwack General Hospital, Fraser Canyon Hospital, and Mission Memorial Hospital. A heartfelt thank you extends to all the generous souls who made this possible. This year's circus-themed gala has surpassed expectations, raising $118,480.00 and counting! “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who generously contributed” exclaimed Liz Harris Executive Director, FVHCF.

Starting with capturing others' stories and passions, he built his own love for the craft. Whether it was shooting small weddings or taking portraits, his goal was to help people preserve their cherished moments and present them as the central characters in their own distinctive narratives. He graduated from MSS, home of the Roadrunners, in 2018 and also attended the Indigenous graduation ceremony. He has been photographing the Indigenous graduation ceremony every year since. Witnessing its growth, he is grateful for the opportunity to learn about his culture and be a part of a ceremony that promotes leadership and cultural pride. This ceremony played a pivotal role in fueling his educational pursuits and passion. Every year, capturing the ceremony brings him joy as he witnesses proud Indigenous graduates eager to learn about their culture, smiling and engaging with elders, adorned in handmade jewelry and clothes from their band or family Recently, he had the opportunity to photograph his very first Indigenous wedding. This experience held significant meaning, not only because it was for the mother of a close friend but also because of his heritage. The ceremony took place by the water, with cedar leaves carefully laid out beneath the couple's feet, and their family encircling them, creating a sense of unity. The couple exchanged strawberries and assisted each other in drinking water, symbolizing their commitment to nourish and care for one another. These thoughtful and profound gestures left a lasting impression on CK, forever etched in his memory. As the owner, videographer, and photographer of Golden Production, he can't believe this is his full-time job! Currently, he's collaborating on projects with community elders. Stay tuned for his upcoming productions at www.goldenproduction.ca.
