The event will feature live music, a 50\/50 raffle, silent auction, food and drinks, and an opportunity for the community to come together while supporting LTCES programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Lake Trail Community Education Society is an independent not-for-profit organization that works within Lake Trail Middle School. Although it works in partnership with the school and school district, LTCES is not the school or part of the school district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">LTCES uses the community school model to make the school a hub for the broader community, with programming focused on three key areas: <strong>the community garden, youth programming and community outreach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A central part of the organization&#8217;s work is creating opportunities for people to connect, contribute their skills and experience, and develop a sense of belonging and mattering within their community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">LTCES relies on donations and grants to support its programming, with the goal of keeping programs low-cost or free so they are accessible to everyone. The August 25th fundraiser at Gladstone&#8217;s is one of the ways the community can help support this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you want to know more about these <\/strong><strong>topics<\/strong><strong>, feel free check the following <\/strong><strong>links<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">LTCES: <a href=\"https:\/\/ltces.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/ltces.ca\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LakeTrailCommunityEducationSociety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LTCES Facebook <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ltces_comoxvalley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram <\/a>for current programming, events and updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">To listen to the episode, click on this link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-mixcloud wp-block-embed-mixcloud wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Conversations With You_Ltces_2026-08\" width=\"100%\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mixcloud.com\/widget\/iframe\/?feed=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixcloud.com%2Fcvox%2Fltces-interview-amanda-ltces-interview%2F&amp;hide_cover=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"encrypted-media; fullscreen; autoplay; idle-detection; speaker-selection; web-share;\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If you have having trouble with the link, click on the <strong>\u201cListen\u201d <\/strong>button on the main menu at the top of the page and choose the <strong>\u201cOn Demand\u201d<\/strong> option.
