The Victoria Odd Fellows (Bastion #4 & Columbia #2) present the Gala of Lights , an elegant 19+ evening dedicated to celebrating community, opportunity, and building futures.
This premier event is in support of the Women in Trades program at Camosun College. After essential government funding for this program was cut in 2024, your support is urgently needed to bridge the gap. With women representing only 4% of BC’s skilled trades workforce , this program provides a proven pathway that has already launched over 1,000 women into rewarding careers.
Your attendance helps provide the essential tools and training women need to build financial independence and strengthen our community’s workforce.
