The Venezuelan Canadian Society of BC – Victoria Chapter has launched an Online Silent Auction to raise funds for humanitarian relief efforts following the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela.

View the auction here:
https://www.32auctions.com/venezuelarelief2026

The auction features generous donations from local businesses and community members, with something for everyone—from restaurant gift cards and experiences to artwork, services, and unique local offerings.

How the fundraiser works:

  • Participants bid on auction items online.
  • Winning bidders make their donation directly to our designated humanitarian organizations providing emergency assistance on the ground in Venezuela.
  • Once proof of donation is received, winners are connected with the donor to redeem their prize.

Funds raised will help provide emergency food, clean water, medical supplies, shelter, and other essential support to families affected by the disaster.

Have you ever used a water bottle refill station in your community? Do you wish there were more available in places like parks, trails, libraries, or other public spaces?

 

Whether you use them often, occasionally, or not at all, we want to hear from you. Fill out our survey today to help shape the future of public water bottle refill stations in Canada and for a chance to win a $100 grocery store gift card of your choice!

 

With support from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Pollution Probe, a Canadian environmental NGO based in Ontario, is undertaking a study to better understand experiences, awareness, and use of public water bottle refill stations. The information gathered will support municipalities in improved decision-making and inform the development of a series of practical resources and educational materials for residents.

 

Any questions can be sent to Teresa Tsui at ttsui@pollutionprobe.org
