With their hockey season unable to continue due to COVID restrictions, the Victoria Admirals U13 C2 hockey team pivoted from playing to focusing on teamwork though fundraising. 

This lead them to the Good Deeds Cup.

The annual Canada-wide contest seeks out minor hockey teams to submit a 60-second video on how they would use the grand prize of $100,000 to make a difference in their community.

The Admirals chose to support the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island.

They've now made it into the finals (winning $2,000 towards their charity) and are representing all of BC hoping to win the top prize of $100,000.

They’re a team on a mission to make positive changes that will impact many children on Vancouver Island.

The contest is decided by the public voting online and runs until February 24.

You can vote once a day (and once per email address ;) ) at: https://gooddeedscup.chevrolet.ca/victoriaadmirals

Costco runs, providing a safe place to stay for queer and trans youth, and fundraising for period supplies for a northern Canadian school --- there's so much that Addy & Karina do it's hard to focus on just one!

Addy and their partner Karina have been keeping us all fed and cared for during the entire pandemic. At the beginning they were doing Costco runs for up to 14 people at a time. They have continued to be amazing. - have been fundraising for period supplies for a northern Canadian school. They have already sent a lot already. Its impressive what they have achieved - organized the feeding of our friends after they lost their kitchen to a fire. - feeding any of us on hardtimes. I have been on the receiving end and its amazing. - housing those in need in their own home -pre pandemic, brought us all such joy by feeding us all in their home -brings much needed Chaotic Good to the world There is definitely more. These two are some of my favourite people. They are incredibly kind. Doing so much for all of us while going to school (Addy) and working full time as a nurse (Karina) I wish I could nominate all of my friends, but these 2 have gone above and beyond. And need more thanks than the chaos free mornings I try to occasionally give them (the dog is loveably insane, I walk him when I can).

Brynn is a 12 year old with a huge heart. 

This winter she was in VGH working her way through recovery from a life threatening infection and ran a fundraiser at the same time.

Brynn decided that people had been so generous and kind in supporting her that she wanted to pay it forward though a fundraiser via the Victoria Hospital Foundation on behalf of the pediatric inpatient unit to try to get more equipment to help out the kids here. 

Not only has she raised over ten thousand dollars to support her fellow Scouts in going to camp, stood up at age 10 to speak at an anti LGBTQ+ protest, and helped teach karate to younger kids for years, she also thought of others while going through this challenging time. 

Brynn is now out of hospital, you can still donate to Brynn's fundraiser here:

When Nick's son Nathan was born 9 weeks early his family discovered first hand the amazing care and resource a place like Jeneece place in Victoria was. Being from the Comox Valley he quickly realized how difficult it is for North Island families to travel to Victoria in these situations and began advocating for a more centralized home on the island. 

Throughout his 9 hard years of advocacy the ground has broken on Q̓ʷalayu House (pronounced Kwuh-li-you). It is an endearing term used by Elders when they speak of babies and children and their reason for being.

With the encouragement of First Nations, Elders, and other stakeholders and partners, it was decided that Q̓ʷalayu House, mixing both the traditional language and English, reflected an inclusive name that would welcome all families into the home away from home.

You know that friend who is always looking out for others, looking for ways to give back, and seems to have unlimited amounts of energy -- that's Shannon!

She was the catalyst for her friend group of 10 amazing women to give back over 15 hygiene kits to WIN, Myla Bui's crane fundraiser for her sister Leila, supporting a single dad's family Christmas list -- and more this holiday season! 

She is our first Zoner of the Week for 2021! Thanks to her friends nomination she gets a $50 gift card to Thrifty Foods, a Zone enamel pin, and bragging rights of course! 

Here's what her friend had to say:

"Shannon is legit. She has a toddler with another bebe on the way, her and her fiancé are living with her mom to save money to move into a condo on their own. Within our friend group she has initiated multiple charity opportunities this Christmas season, knowing how hard 2020 has been on everyone. Completely her idea, we sponsored a family and did a hamper with 1Up for a single family. She offered to pick up presents from anyone, as well as doing anyone's wrapping and doing the final drop off. She suggested hygiene kits for WIN, and because of her over 15 were created and donated. She also offered to pick those up from all of our houses to make it easier. She posted a link to donate to sister of Leila making paper cranes for $1 so we could all donate to that. She never pressures us but she makes it so easy to give, and because of her many families will have a slightly brighter end to 2020. She has an enormous heart and deserves to be recognized"
