BC Parks 30 by 30 Initiative Gala Fundraiser

On November 27th, Evolution’s management and ownership team, represented by Evolution’s Administrative Operations Manager Britt, and her partner, attended the 30 by 30 Initiative Gala Fundraiser at the elegant Vancouver Club. The evening was a celebration of BC’s breathtaking natural beauty and the collective efforts needed to protect it. As a 3PL partner, we are proud to support BC businesses, charities, and initiatives, contributing to the growth of our province’s vibrant small business economy. By providing reliable logistics services, we help local organizations thrive and make a meaningful impact in our communities.

 

Key Highlights and Speakers

The event featured powerful speeches from key leaders and advocates who underscored the importance of preserving 30% of BC’s land by 2030 through collaboration with First Nations communities and private donations.

  • Former Premier Gordon Campbell delivered a moving speech emphasizing the necessity of political support for the 30 by 30 goal. He highlighted his role in the Great Bear Rainforest Protection Plan and praised the BC government’s pledge of $200 million toward this initiative, aligning with the global movement for conservation.
  • Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin spoke passionately about reconciliation efforts with First Nations communities, highlighting shared values and goals for protecting BC’s natural heritage for generations to come.
  • Ross Beaty, BC Parks Board Chairman, presented a compelling video and speech on the 30 by 30 initiative and the successes of the earlier 25 by 25 initiative. He shared a personal story about a project to restore water to an endangered wetland habitat in Pitt Meadows by ingeniously diverting water from the Fraser River through tunnels under roadways.

An Evening of Recognition and Connection

The night celebrated the remarkable landscapes of BC and the importance of protecting them from endangerment. It was a pleasure to meet members of the BC Parks Foundation Board and Community Projects Team and learn more about their ongoing efforts and future plans.

We were honored to receive recognition for our continued support in fulfilling merchandise orders and Parks Pass sales through the BC Parks Foundation website. A heartwarming moment of the evening was reconnecting with Tamara Little from Coast Communications, who had received PPE from Evolution during the pandemic. Michael and Tamara fondly reminisced about hand-unloading a truck of PPE for a North Vancouver location—just one of many examples of community spirit and teamwork.
