I am so incredibly proud to share this story about Wear2Start and the beginning of our 25th anniversary celebrations. 💜
For 25 years, Wear2Start has been helping women move forward with confidence, dignity and hope. Today, that work is more important than ever as the rising cost of living continues to bring more people through our doors.
It is such a privilege to lead this incredible organization alongside our dedicated volunteers, Board and community of supporters. We have an ambitious goal to raise $25,000 for 25 years, helping ensure Wear2Start can continue to be there for everyone who needs us.
Please take a few minutes to watch, share our story and, if you are able, support our campaign. Every donation, every share and every conversation helps us continue this important work. 💜
Here’s to 25 years of confidence, community and changing lives and to everything still ahead.

While the May votes were being tallied, we heard from Gaelle Van Erp, the director of Marketing and Communications for the Victoria Hospitals Foundation. The Foundation was the recipient of the fall meeting, having been nominated by Charlene Smith. Listen to some of the amazing things we learned about how the Davinci Robot is supporting Women's Health in Greater Victoria!
