Every year, the auction committee searches out an eclectic mix of unique experiences, hot ticket items and covetable gift packages for Merry & Bright, our annual holiday auction; this year is no exception and we have some great items ready to go to the highest bidder. Plus, Alison Ross from Kilshaw’s Auctioneers is our special guest, bringing some authentic auction magic to the stage as she hosts the live auction.

Here are a few more highlights of the great items up for auction:

* Take home a bottle of Merridale’s limited edition Cowichan Cognac. Only 400 bottles were made. This is BC’s first and only 10 year old brandy. This limited edition cognac will be your favourite Holiday treat. Yum!

* Enjoy a stay-cation with a beautiful room at Hotel Grand Pacific  and have downtown at your fingertips. The perfect in-town getaway, escape for one night away and take in the sights and sounds of the inner harbour from your private balcony.

* Relax, unwind and reset with a float in the Float House’s sensory deprivation tanks. Floating is today’s most advanced and scientifically proven way of eliminating stress, tension and fatigue from your life. This is a must try experience so here’s your chance!

* Hop the pond next summer and experience Vancouver Opera’s inaugural Opera Festival with two tickets to the modern classic, Dead man Walking, based on the best-selling memoir and starring opera heavy hitters Daniel Okulitch and Judith Forst. 

* Shake off the winter blues with a 10-pack of vouchers to the 2017 Victoria Film Festival. Bring your eyeballs and experience films from near and far right on your doorstep, with galas, screenings and special presentations.

* Farquhar Auditorium presents Starman: Acoustic Bowie, a musical tribute to David Bowie.  Join an inspired, diverse group of Canadian singers/musicians as they celebrate the songs of Bowie in this in-the-round concert performance.
