BK Studios and Portraits for the people has been asked to photograph families at Coalition Connect for Families – on April 30th. Families of Burnside Gorge Community Association and Victoria Native Friendship Centre will be able to access important services, such as haircuts, acupuncture, medical and dental consultations and family portraits!

But we need your help to make this happen! We need a donation of $2000 in order to purchase framing for the portraits! Please let us know if you can help in anyway! This will be awesome exposure for any business as there will be room for your signage at the event and your sponsorship will be recognized in all media coverage! Please contact the studio at 250-381-4739 as soon as possible!
