After a brief hiatus, Tapas for TAPS is back! T4T is an annual fundraiser supporting vital legal advocacy services for those living in poverty on Southern Vancouver Island. Join us for a night featuring live music by Clark Brendan and Al Pierce, delicious appetizers, raffle prizes, and a live auction. Proceeds from the event directly support the delivery of free, comprehensive legal advocacy work that helps us prevent homelessness, and reduce poverty across the communities we serve.
This year we are excited to welcome an incredible speaker who is sounding the alarm on the housing and affordability crisis in Canada, and how we might implement practical interventions to better house Canadians in the future. Gregor Craigie is a journalist from CBC radio's "On the Island," and he joins us to share his insights into poverty, homelessness, and housing after publishing his most recent book - Our Crumbling Foundation: How We Solve Canada's Housing Crisis.
Although fundraising is on the docket, the main purpose of the event is to recognize and celebrate the essential role TAPS plays in our community as we work alongside government for legal reform, and ensure low-income people in BC have access to the benefits and entitlements they deserve.
Tickets cost $100 and include a charitable tax receipt for $50. Each ticket gets you food, 1 drink ticket, and 2 raffle tickets. Tickets are available through Eventbrite, or for sale at the Victoria TAPS Office at 828 View Street. Unsold tickets will be available for purchase at the door at the time of the event.
If you have any questions about event specifics please email your inquiry to Douglas King, the TAPS Executive Director, at [email protected] or call the front desk at 250-361-3521.
Those who wish to make a donation to TAPS but not attend our event may contribute through our website at https://www.tapsbc.ca/donate , or by delivering a physical donation to our Victoria office at 828 View Street. Please provide your full name and mailing address to be issued a tax receipt.
