About AutismBC

AutismBC is British Columbia’s first and only autistic-led advocacy organization and registered charity. This neuroaffirming, non-profit organization is led by a team with diverse lived experience as neurodivergent individuals and caregivers, who centre the experiences and voices of AutismBC’s membership in everything they do.

For over 50 years, AutismBC’s mission has been to connect autistic individuals, their families, and allies to connection and community building opportunities, barrier-free resources, and pathways to support.

In British Columbia today, 1 in 30 children between the ages of 6-18 have an autism diagnosis, and the demand for autism services, programs, and support continues to grow. It is estimated that over 180,000 adults and children in BC are on the spectrum.

AutismBC delivers programs, workshops, community-based social activities, and local support from regional resources teams across the province. The organization relies on donations and fundraisers like this raffle each year to fund the programs and services it offers to the 13,000+ members of its community.

Play the St. Paul's Foundation 50/50 raffle and win.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 16, 2026 — Now’s your chance to buy tickets for St. Paul’s Foundation’s 50/50 raffle! Your ticket purchase supports initiatives, programs, and equipment that directly enhance patient care at Providence Health Care and Providence Living.

A day well lived starts with freedom and autonomy

Providence Living at The Views is Canada’s first publicly funded care village, designed to transform long-term care for seniors and adults living with dementia. Residents live in small household-style groups and are free to move throughout the secure village, supported by caregivers whenever needed.

This independence means residents often spend time outdoors, whether heading to activities, appointments, or simply enjoying a drink in the courtyard. While even a short time outside offers well known health benefits, it’s important to ensure residents stay warm and comfortable during the cooler months.

Your raffle purchase helps residents stay warm and cozy with easy-on/easy-off outerwear, including all‑weather capes and wheelchair blankets, so they can enjoy the courtyard in comfort.

By helping provide accessible, weather appropriate outerwear, you’re directly enhancing each resident’s comfort, confidence, and independence. Get your tickets today!

Tickets are available for purchase until June 5, 2026. The winner will be drawn on June 9, 2026. Ticket bundles are available to increase your chances of winning!

3 for $10
20 for $25
120 for $50
300 for $75 (the greatest value and best chance to win)

You could be the lucky winner! Get your tickets today at spf5050.ca.

Remember the more tickets you buy, the more chances you have to win!

Win a Mustang. Help Build Greater Victoria’s Next Family Destination.

GREATER VICTORIA, BC, May 15, 2026 — The Oak Bay Firefighters Charitable Foundation has launched its 2026 Mustang Raffle, a community-driven initiative aimed at transforming Firefighters Park into a fully accessible destination for families across Greater Victoria. Tickets are now on sale across British Columbia, with proceeds supporting a long-term vision to create a space designed for connection, accessibility, and everyday community use.

Located in Oak Bay and situated between two active Little League baseball diamonds, the park has long served as a natural gathering point where families spend weekends, kids move between games, and the community comes together in a shared space. On any given day, the area is filled with players, parents, and spectators, highlighting its potential to become something even more intentional and inclusive.

Unlike traditional fundraising campaigns that focus on short-term outcomes, this initiative is centered on building a lasting, community-driven space—one that reflects both the identity of the fire service and the needs of families across the region. The Foundation’s vision is to build on the park’s existing role and create a destination that is fully accessible, thoughtfully designed, and rooted in Oak Bay, while drawing families from across Greater Victoria.

Plans for the redevelopment include inclusive play features for children of all abilities, fire service-inspired elements, and a layout that encourages connection between families, athletes, and visitors. The initiative is being led by members of the Oak Bay Firefighters Charitable Foundation, who volunteer their time to support community-based projects beyond their operational roles.

“This is about building something that brings people together,” organizers note. “A place where families from across Greater Victoria can come, connect, and create memories.”

To help bring the project to life, the Foundation has introduced a province-wide raffle featuring a 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback as its grand prize—using the excitement of the prize to support a long-term investment in the community.

ENTER NOW FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN

Each ticket purchased contributes directly to the redevelopment of Firefighters Park, helping move the project closer to becoming a space designed for accessibility, community connection, and everyday use by families throughout Greater Victoria

What You Can Win

Grand Prize: 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback (valued up to $80,000)
Early Bird #1: $2,500 Flight Centre gift card (Deadline: June 2, 2026)
Early Bird #2: WestJet “Gift of Flight” for two (Deadline: September 1, 2026)

About the Oak Bay Firefighters Charitable Foundation

The Oak Bay Firefighters Charitable Foundation is a registered non-profit organization operated by members of the Oak Bay Fire Department, built on a long-standing commitment to giving back beyond emergency response.

While rooted in Oak Bay, the Foundation’s impact extends across Greater Victoria through a wide range of community initiatives. These include annual bursaries for Grade 12 students, contributions to the Victoria Hospitals Foundation in support of programs such as the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and ongoing support for youth-focused organizations like KidSport, helping ensure children have access to sport regardless of financial barriers.

The Foundation is also active at the grassroots level, supporting elementary school fundraisers, hosting community events such as pancake breakfasts, and contributing wherever support is needed. In many cases, these efforts happen quietly, without recognition, but remain a consistent part of the organization’s work in the community.

For some families, that support can make a meaningful difference, whether it’s helping a student take the next step after graduation or giving a child the opportunity to get on the field with their peers. Those moments, while often unseen, are part of what drives the Foundation’s continued involvement.

While much of this work has taken place year after year, the Foundation is now stepping forward with a larger vision, one that brings its community impact into a single, lasting space.

The redevelopment of Firefighters Park represents the Foundation’s first major legacy project. Located in Oak Bay, the park is already a well-used gathering place, positioned between two active Little League baseball diamonds. The goal is to build on that foundation and create a fully accessible, fire-themed destination that serves families not just locally, but across Greater Victoria.

By focusing on accessibility, thoughtful design, and community connection, the project aims to create a space that reflects both the identity of the fire service and the needs of the broader region—something built in Oak Bay, with the goal of becoming a destination for families across Greater Victoria.
