Comox Valley Transition Society

Comox Valley Transition Society Improving the lives of women, children and families in the Comox Valley. http://cvts.ca In 1992, we were able to purchase a large home.

We were founded in 1987 by members of our community who were concerned that women in abusive relationships had nowhere to go. From 1989 – 1992, we operated a safe home network, in which local families volunteered to take women and children into their own homes. Lilli House was opened that year, with 11 beds in 6 bedrooms. We also received funding that year to begin our Stop the Violence and Childr

en Who Witness Abuse Counselling Programs. We began to offer Detox services in 1999 and Supportive Recovery services in 2000. Today, Lilli House has 14 beds in 9 bedrooms. An average of 300 women and children stay in Lilli House every year. We receive an average of 1500 crisis calls per year. Many more women and children access our counseling services. From the very beginning, we have had tremendous community support. Our primary funding comes from BC Housing and The Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General. We also receive funds from the Ministry of Social Development, Vancouver Island Health Authority, Comox Valley Community Foundation, The United Way of Central and Northern Vancouver Island, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, B.C. Charitable Gaming, Soroptimists International – Courtenay and generous donations from community members, businesses and organizations.

The Bidding Starts Now!

Not long ago, two women — Teresa and Helga — gave half a million dollars toward one dream: a home. That dream is real. The property is closed. Four apartments are filled. Four families slept safe last night, somewhere that's theirs.
But last year, nearly 400 families fleeing violence in the Comox Valley were turned away from Lilli House. No room.
Now you can help change that number. Our online silent auction is LIVE. Bid on incredible items and experiences from local artists, makers, and businesses across the Valley.

Featured Artist Spotlight | Christine Boyer, Christine Boyer Art
https://www.christineboyerart.ca

As always, Art in the Vines celebrates the incredible artistic talent that exists right here in the Comox Valley. This year, we’re introducing something new, a dedicated feature that brings local artistry even further into the heart of the event.

For the first time, we are honoured to showcase a local painter whose work will be woven throughout the entire Art in the Vines experience, from our event marketing and visual storytelling to our stage backdrop and a very special live auction piece.

Our 2026 Featured Artist is the incredibly talented Christine Boyer. Christine’s stunning oversized original canvas will become a signature element of the 6th Annual Art in the Vines Gala, creating a powerful visual expression of the evening. Her bold, beautiful, and distinctly expressive style perfectly captures the spirit of this year’s celebration, creativity, community, and connection.

We are thrilled to have Christine’s artwork help set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Guests will also have the opportunity to explore our Artist Pop-Up Shop during the gala. As part of their support for the CVTS, 20% of all artist sales will be donated back.

For those attending the gala, you’ll also discover a very unique collectible piece featuring Christine’s artwork, which will be unveiled as part of our live auction. We can’t wait to share the story behind this special piece in September!

The 6th Annual Art in the Vines Gala has officially sold out, our fastest sell-out ever!

Stay tuned as we grow our 50/50 Jackpot and announce the launch of our online silent auction, giving everyone the opportunity to join in the excitement whether attending the gala or supporting from afar.
