Savary Islanders came out to show how much they love the 7.5 kilometre island in the Salish Sea at a live art auction on Saturday, July 26, for the Savary Island Land Trust (SILT). A total of $33,500 was raised.
One standout bid was for artist Trish Jodoin's stunning work titled, Fading Light at Sutherland Beach, which sold for $5,000.
The annual auction was in-person for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. It was hosted by SILT founding director Wynn Woodward and auctioneer Tanya Alexander.
SILT executive director Liz Webster posted a message on social media to the Savary community:
"Thank you, Savary Islanders, for a very successful art auction raising $33,500 for land conservation on your favourite island."
