To our distinguished guests, the Lieutenant Governor of NB / Lieutenante-gouverneure du N.-B., the Minister of Women’s Equality lyne-Lyne Chantal Boudreau - Champdoré-Irishtown, and the Minister of Social Development Cindi Miles, thank you for joining us. Your words on domestic and intimate partner violence, its impact, and the importance of community support were powerful and deeply appreciated. Your recognition of Liberty Lane’s role in supporting survivors meant so much.
To our incredible keynote speaker and survivor, Colette Martin, thank you for your courage, grace, and honesty in sharing your journey. Your story of healing and advocacy inspired hope and reminded us all why this work matters. We heard you.
To everyone who purchased tables and tickets, and who listened with open hearts to how they could Be the Change, thank you.
To the local artisans, businesses, and individuals who donated stunning live and silent auction items, many of which were handcrafted with love, and to those who bid generously: thank you for your creativity, your time, and your support.
To the talented performers, The Jenn Russell Band, Karine Basque, and Kylie Fox, thank you for the wonderful entertainment. To our dedicated fundraising committee, staff, board members, emcees Joel Doherty and Dwayne Hayes, auctioneer Mark Depow, and DJ Pierre El-Khoury, thank you for your tireless work and energy in making this event a success.
This was more than a gala. This was community. This was our community stepping up, not just for Liberty Lane as an organization, but for the individuals and families we serve.
Saying we are grateful doesn’t feel like enough. The experience was bigger than words, more impactful, more hopeful.
Knowing you are here for us—and for those who need our services, fills us with hope for a better future for our families, our neighbors, and ourselves.
You filled our cups. Thank you.
