President Melanie Leslie, Vice-President Laurie Ungaro and Executive Director Sandy Wade joined the hundreds of representatives from Community Foundations across BC at the BC Connect Conference in Kelowna from September 15 to 17, 2026. There were multiple sessions of interest to the Phoenix Foundation over the three days and directors came away with amazing new ideas and information to Build a Better Boundary.
