Heather Treleaven, Leanne Koehn, and Flori Chaykowski all accepted awards
GETIfest returned to Maple Ridge last weekend, providing a wide range of local entertainment for people to enjoy.
The annual event hosted by the Golden Ears Transition Initiative promotes environmentalism, with this year’s festival having a theme of Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, which organizer Gerry Pinel explained is meant to encourage people to examine the past and how it has shaped modern times and can be used to better mould the future.
New to GETIfest this year was the Community Spirit Awards, which were given out in three categories.
For the individual category, Heather Treleaven was recognized for her work with the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Katzie Seniors Network, BC Association of Community Response Networks, and other local groups.
