The heart of Duncan City Square was full of warmth, even as the rain poured down. Green Party leader Sonia Furstenau hosted a beautiful volunteer appreciation event to celebrate the passionate, dedicated people who power her vision for a better future.

From the moment guests arrived, they were welcomed with heartfelt words from Indigenous Elders, grounding the gathering in gratitude and respect. Despite the weather, spirits were high and laughter echoed through the square.

Tasty local snacks kept everyone cozy and content, while live music brought the community together in the most joyful way—umbrellas bobbing to the beat, smiles shining through the drizzle.

The rain may have been relentless, but so was the love and appreciation flowing through the crowd. It was a celebration of community, resilience, and hope—and a reminder that the movement for a greener, more just world is rooted in connection.
