Join us for our fourth annual “Loving the Grasslands” event, a special fundraising evening celebrating the beauty, culture, and ecological importance of BC’s grasslands. Your support helps protect these rare landscapes for future generations. The event will take place at Thompson Rivers University. You’ll enjoy an evening of great company, a full premiere buffet, and, of course, our live and silent auctions.
All funds raised support GCC education, stewardship, and research projects!
