Kidsport New Westminster is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to assist with fundraising and event planning. Following the success of its Fall Classic fundraiser, the organization aims to organize another event this fall, with potential additional events in spring and summer.

How You Can Help:

Volunteers will work together as a committee, ensuring that responsibilities are shared. Tasks may include:
✅ Sponsor outreach
✅ Event Logistics
✅ Marketing support

The commitment involves monthly meetings, some work between meetings, and attending the events themselves. Kidsport New West is hoping to recruit 4 to 5 volunteers, with onboarding set for February and March.

Why Volunteer?

Kidsport New Westminster provides grants of up to $400 per child per year to help cover registration fees for sports. All funds raised stay within the community, ensuring local kids can participate in organized sports regardless of financial barriers.

If you're passionate about helping kids get off the sidelines and into the game, email [email protected] to get involved.

JUNO Award-winning vocalist Kellylee Evans is set to take the stage at Anvil Theatre, promising an unforgettable evening of music and emotion. Known for her dynamic stage presence and genre-blending style, Evans has captivated audiences worldwide, performing everything from jazz and R&B to pop. With eight albums to her name—including a celebrated tribute to Nina Simone—she continues to push musical boundaries with her latest EP, Show Love.

Her newest project introduces a fusion of futuristic soul, R&B, funk, and jazz, offering listeners a fresh yet familiar sound. Whether exploring themes of love, family, or personal growth, Evans’ expressive voice and masterful phrasing bring each song to life with undeniable depth and energy.

Opening the show is Krystle Dos Santos, a two-time Western Canadian Music Award winner known for her powerful vocals and genre-spanning repertoire. From Motown to country rock, Dos Santos has shared the stage with legends like Stevie Wonder and Michael Bublé, and her performances never fail to get audiences on their feet.

This electrifying concert promises a night of soul-stirring melodies and vibrant performances, making it a must-see event for music lovers.
