The second annual Butterfly Run happened in 琉璃神社 on Saturday morning (Oct. 5) to raise awareness for infertility, pregnancy loss, and infant loss.

鈥婼tarting at City Park, participants either walked three kilometres or ran five.

All proceeds raised from the event go towards local initiatives and the BC Women's Health Foundation. 

When the race finished back at City Park, everyone got to enjoy local entertainment, food trucks, kids zone, community booths and vendors, and more.

The first annual event in 2023 raised more than $28,000.
