Not your Garden variety Party
Ecology Action Centre celebrates 15 years of kicking off summer
by Tara Thorne
"It's our annual coming-of-summer fundraiser," says the Ecology Action Centre's Stephanie Hughes of the centre's 15th annual outdoor brouhaha. "It's our largest fundraiser so through this event which includes a plant sale---hence garden party---silent auction and live auction, we raise thousands of dollars for EAC projects and core expenses." Hosted by CBC Radio's Olga Milosevich, with Cathy Jones pulling auctioneer duty---there's a comedy team in the making---the day makes for a good place, says Hughes, to "learn about not just about the EAC but businesses trying to do something in a responsible and sustainable way. We have tens of thousands of dollars of things that have been donated: workshops and classes, energy audits, things from spas, local cafes, restaurants and bookstores; we have great weekend getaways, concert and festival tickets." Other auction items include EAC staff members offering unique opportunities such as fly fishing and bread-making lessons. "The event has its own identity now," says Hughes. "People know to look forward to it every June."
