Held at The Kent in Vancouver, guests celebrated art, music, community, culture, and creativity, while enjoying bites and sips by Bon Vivant Catering. There was also a fun and impromptu line dancing session towards the end of the evening!

Thank you to Djaka Blais, executive director of Hogan's Alley and the entire Hogan's Alley Society team for joining us. A special thank you to Siobhan Barker for educating us during her land acknowledgement. And, much gratitude to our artist, Norm Shearing, for bringing us all together.
