An Evening for Supporting Wetlands in Metro Vancouver’s Regional Parks
Join us on Thursday, September 24 2026 at 6pm for an evening of celebration as we come together to raise funds in support of the incredible wetlands found throughout Metro Vancouver Regional Parks.
Building on the success of last year’s Fuelling Futures Corporate Breakfast (which raised over $25,000 to support Langley’s regional parks and youth), Parksfest 2026 will take place at the Burnaby Lake Rowing Pavillion. This year’s event will focus on raising funds to directly support the protection and restoration of wetlands across Metro Vancouver Regional Parks, while also celebrating the people, organizations, and park partners who help care for these vital ecosystems.
In partnership with Ducks Unlimited Canada, the evening will shine a spotlight on local wetland conservation efforts, recognize outstanding community and park partner contributions through special awards, and bring together leaders and supporters committed to protecting these landscapes.
Funds raised will support three new park projects:
Support the creation of a regional hub for wetland education, conservation, and community engagement, inspiring future generations to protect Metro Vancouver’s wetlands.
Help create an outdoor classroom where youth can experience hands-on learning about wetlands, wildlife, conservation, and environmental stewardship in Burnaby Lake Regional Park.
Connect youth, seniors, volunteers, and underserved groups with Metro Vancouver’s regional parks and wetlands by funding transportation, outdoor experiences, and community stewardship opportunities.
