Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
5th Session
41st Parliament
A
A
Now
the
purpose
of
the
show
is
not
just
to
showcase
talent,
but
to
raise
money
for
a
charity.
They
call
we
care
quilts
members,
make
nearly
300
colorful
quilts
every
year
to
give
away
their
quilts
comfort
and
encourage
people
in
hospice
and
palliative
care.
Children
who
come
into
contact
with
community
police,
women
in
ann
davis
transition
house
and
several
indigenous
centers.
They
also
make
placemats
for
meals
on
wheels.
Heart
pillows
for
breast
cancer.
A
Survivors
and
cloth
bags
filled
with
toiletries,
gloves,
socks
and
hats
for
disadvantaged
youth,
and
they
have
been
active
during
cobin,
agnes
lowen,
a
member
of
peacemakersgill
told
me
that
over
the
past
few
months
she
alone
has
made
six
we
care
quilts
and
over
100
masks.
I
was
amazed
at
the
sheer
size
of
their
organizations.
A
Their
large
boards
manage
everything
from
the
we
care
effort
to
their
newsletter
website
library,
workshops,
bus
trips,
quilt
show
and
more.
It
would
be
hard
to
find
a
more
active
and
involved
group
of
volunteers
passionate
about
their
work.
I
want
to
thank
peacemakers
president
beatrice
riska
and
chilliwack
president
lynn,
gabby,
all
their
board
members
and
members
at
large,
of
both
quilters
guilds
for
using
their
time
and
skills
to
give
beauty,
charity
and
comfort
to
the
people
of
chilliwack.
