Annual  Boat for Hope

Variety's Boat for Hope event is a fun-filled day on the water that provides unique experiences to children who have special needs. Local skippers volunteer their time and their boats for a pirate adventure on the high seas!

These events raise significant funds for Variety through the skippers plus corporate and community partners, while at the same time providing a one of a kind experience for children and their families. 

July

Annual Harbour Clean-Up

Each year, Pacific Undersea Gardens and a team of volunteers get together to clean-up the sea floor of Victoria’s Inner Harbour. This year’s event was a resounding succes, made possible by dozens of volunteers, including local divers, the Pacific Navy Fleet Diving Unit and Coast Guard Auxiliary Unit 35.

During the dive, hundreds of pounds of garbage is removed from the harbour, including suitcases, pants, bikes, tires, boat batteries, cell phones, shoes and even toilets!

The dive is followed by a pancake breakfast cooked up by the Pacific Undersea Gardens staff, and a prize giveaway with prizes donated by local businesses. A grand prize will be given to the “most obscure item found”.

Thanks to all our volunteer staff for taking part and Ellice Recycling LTD. for donating a recycling bin, handling all recycling fees and transportation of garbage.
