Fired Up Fundraiser On October 7th, the community came together to support the ng businesses that were completely destroyed by an early morning fire on July 30th. The fire tore through downtown PoCo and devastated four buildings right next door to the Giggle Dam. Our own Leah Barker attended the fundraiser which raised over $9000 in ticket sales, silent auction, shirt sales and donations.

Also all of the Giggle Dam’s donated their services for the evening. g.

All of the funds raised will be donated evenly among the affected businesses.

Leah had the opportunity that evening to speak with Brad Lovell, Director of Marketing & Media at the Giggle Dam and Steve Darling, g, Global News Anchor, who emceed the event.

How did this event come about?

Brad: A group of people formed the PoCo Fire Relief Fund Task Force with members from the BIA, Chamber of Commerce, Giggle Dam and more. This event was pulled off in just 3 weeks time.

Giggle Dam offered their venue and services. To spread the word Giggle Dam utilized their patron list, the community and the Chamber of Commerce.

Were you looking to give back and support your neighbours during this incredible loss, especially since e this fire hit so close to the Giggle Dam? Brad: Yes. I was personally standing there watching and feeling so helpless and felt the need to assist in some way. It could have been n the Giggle Dam affected.

Did you find that the local community came on board quickly for this event?

Brad: Yes once word got out there, there was definite support. In attendance was Councillor Mike Forrest standing in for Mayor Greg Moore, Nick Delmonico - Port Coquitlam Fire Department Chief, Gillian an Kirk of the Chamber of Commerce, Global TV, Hard Rock Casino, Westminster Savings, Keller Williams Elite Realty, and many more.

How did you become involved in this event?

Steve: The owners of the Giggle Dam were on a past show on Globall TV. While the fire was happening, we were in the studio watching the live coverage. I reached out to the Giggle Dam via email to see the extent of the damage and to offer my help in anyway. Once they ey decided on this event, they asked for help with emceeing the event..

As a resident of Port Coquitlam, how did you feel when n you heard about the fire?

Steve: I felt sad and upset for the businesses. The buildings were old and part of the history of downtown PoCo. I know the businesses affected.

Do you feel the local community has pulled together to help support the businesses that lost everything?

Steve: Yes, I do. The people here tonight are in support! Even a firefighter from Burnaby decided to celebrate his anniversary at the Fundraiser!

The Heart & Soul Conference Saturday, November 7th • 5:00PM – 10:00PM Inlet Theatre & Galleria – 100 Newport Drive, Port Moody Tickets: $35 • www.tricitywomensconference.com For more information you can call, 604-469-7286

Featuring 3 speakers: Georgia Nicols – Renowned Astrologer & Author Bal Arneson – Celebrity Chef & Author Tara McIntosh – Founder, Tri-City Women’s Conference

We recently interviewed Tara McIntosh, the founder of the Tri-City Women’s Conference.

How did this event come about?

I love to inspire women to go for their dreams and wanted an evening to celebrate that so that our community could benefit from women who felt encouraged and then confident to share their gifts and talents with others.

When did the Heart & Soul Conference start?

The first one was in 2003. We had four annual events and I decided to take a step back and halt them for a while because I was a very busy mom and had to prioritize when my children were little.

We resumed this incredible event in 2014 after many people asked me to bring it back.

Why did you want to organize an event like this for women?

There is so much negativity and bad news that is thrown at our children and youth these days and I felt that our young women and girls needed to look up to positive adult women role models in the community that have authentic success and encourage other women to be their best. When women are happy and positive we inspire the next generation.

What has the response been like each year?

The response has been incredible and we came close to selling out last year. Our conference truly is unlike any other. It’s not a trade show, it is not an infomercial. This is a night completely devoted to our guests to leave feeling uplifted and inspired.

What is your favourite thing about connecting with and supporting women in business?

It’s actually not a business event but rather dedicated to inspiring the hearts & souls of women of all ages. Our speakers are entertaining, inspiring and relate to real women. I love to encourage women to be their true selves and to overcome fear so that they can live the lives they were meant to live. When women feel strong, powerful and inspired everyone benefits enormously and for the better. Women have a lot of influence in our communities, and our world.

Our world needs more women virtues instilled in it and this conference hopefully inspires a little piece of the world with its mission.

What inspires you?

I am inspired by honest stories that teach other women to get back up when they fall or fail. I am inspired by women who are passionate about their lives and encourage others to live passionately as well – and move through fear. I am inspired by new ideas and people who are comfortable in their own skin.

O

ur current exhibit, the Carol Hubbard Memorial Natural History Exhibit and its inaugural theme, "That Cold Crushing Feeling", explores the effects of the last ice age on Port Coquitlam's landscape in an interactive manner. It opens formally on November 17th but is already open for viewing. The exhibit will recur annually with a different theme, and it is the result of Carol's desire to have a permanent natural history component to our museum.

Carol was our secretary for many years and succumbed to cancer in 2013; the exhibit is made possible by generous donations in her memory. Although the exhibit comes down in January, an online component will remain indefinitely.

Rotary Club of Port Coquitlam, along with the Amanda Todd Legacy Society and Douglas College Create New Bursary For Douglas College "Child and Youth Worker Program" With help from contributions from the four Tri City Rotary Clubs, the bursary totals $4000 per year for the next four years ($16,000). The idea of a bursary at Douglas College was instigated by Angela Andersen, Past President of Rotary Club of Port Coquitlam. "Rotary helps me connect the right people together. This was important to me as my son has struggled with mental wellness since high school.

There just is not enough youth care workers out there to give proper support."

President Ron Goyette agrees "mental wellness is a great concern in our communities affecting many people, particularly youth, and we are very much focused on today's youth. Amanda Todd and her family were a part of the

26

Port Coquitlam community. There have been other suicides and many attempted suicides in this community and we want to help find a way for these young people to cope and deal with the many issues contributing to mental health.

Stand the coated apples on the prepared tray and leave in a cool, dry place to set. This is important as moisture in the air will cause the toffee to become sticky.
