In 2025, with the generous support of donors like you, Dance Victoria provided 130 free Nutcracker tickets to children and their caregivers to Victoria Native Friendship Centre, Victoria Women’s Transition House, the Inter-cultural Association of Greater Victoria (ICA), and Ukrainian-Canadian Cultural Association of Greater Victoria. A big thank you to co-chairs Julie Rust and Greg Phillips, of Rust Phillips Group with Engel & Völkers for their long-time support. Our deep gratitude to everyone who joined us in making Christmas bright for lots of Nutcracker Kids.
