Attend an Event
Support CoDev and get informed by attending an event!
We host several annual events to celebrate the accomplishments of our partners, share information about upcoming actions and raise funds for our programs as well as one-time events that come up throughout the year.
Film Festival
CoDev’s annual global issues documentary film festival in February has become a “must see” for film buffs and solidarity activists alike. Visit the film festival website for more information! The 2011 film festival took place on February 11-13, 2011 at Langara College in Vancouver. Stay tuned to our film fest page for news of 2012!
Beauty and Justice Series
In 2010 CoDev started a new series of events with our first art auction brunch event, Coffee, Bread & Roses. It was a special morning celebrating with good friends and raising a (coffee) cup to local BC artists and 25 years of CoDev’s work building partnerships for global justice. We invite you to take a look at some photos (PDF) from the event as well as a listing of the wonderful artists who donated their work and to read the incredible speech (PDF) made by local activist Bill Hood, a long-time CoDev supporter. On April 3, 2011 we continued this series with our Women, Justice & Beauty art auction brunch. Thanks to all the great supporters who came out to the event; we’ll be posting photos soon!
CoDev Annual Dinner
CoDev’s Annual Dinner is held each year in May or June. Join our Canadian partners, sponsors, donors, members, and other community members for an evening of food & entertainment, a fabulous silent auction and of course, the famous dessert auction! This year’s dinner took place on Sat, June 4th at the Maritime Labour Centre. Thanks to everyone who came out to support CoDev! Watch our website for the 2012 date!
CoDev Annual General Meeting
Held in September each year this is a great event to attend to get to know a little about our organization, become a member and meet our staff and board. Each year we do our best to invite a speaker who can share their experiences as it relates to CoDev’s work or the context within which our partners work. For information on the 2011 AGM check out this blog post!
CoDev Open House
Usually held in the 2nd week of December, CoDev invites our supporters, volunteers and partners to join us at the CoDev office to ring in the end of the year and learn about our projects in the year ahead. Watch here for the 2011 date to be announced.
Guest Speakers
CoDev and our Canadian partners regularly facilitate members of our Latin American partners to come to Canada to speak on the issues facing them. Whenever a partner is here we make an effort to host a public event in the Vancouver area so that you may hear from them directly. Sign up for our e-bulletin event notices so that you know when an event like this is happening!
For additional information about these and other events, contact the CoDev office.
