Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North’s ‘Bid to Build’ Online Auction is back with over 200 items, experiences & getaways up for grabs!

From June 16th-26th, virtual bidding for Habitat’s 3rd annual Auction will be open for over 200 items, gift cards, experiences and getaways donated by local businesses & professionals.

Proceeds will support Habitat VIN’s current 12-home project on 1375 Piercy Avenue in Courtenay, upfront development costs for their upcoming project on 461 Hilchey Road in Campbell River, and a refurbishment of a previous Habitat homeowner’s house to serve another family.

Despite some return to normalcy, with its ReStores reopened and in-person events once more allowed, the non-profit needs support to begin its largest affordable housing projects

to date.

Cloutier Matthews Professional Chartered Accountants and Temprite Climate Solutions, two companies that are passionate about what Habitat does in the community, are back for the third year as the auction’s presenting sponsors. Brian McLean and Tyee Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd. has also returned, this time as the ‘buy-it-now’ sponsor to incentivize particularly generous bidders.

The ‘buy-it-now’ price for each item will be set at double the established value. Everyone who uses the ‘buy-it-now’ feature will receive a tax receipt for the amount above and beyond the established value, and they will be entered into a draw for a secret prize valued at $1,000.

The Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce, Campbell River Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Courtenay BIA, Downtown Comox BIA, Downtown Campbell River BIA, and Cumberland Business Association have each lent support as auction partners by sharing information with their members and networks.

Bidders can expect gift cards for local restaurants and businesses, tools, artwork, and gift baskets, as well as experiences including a glacier helicopter tour, a whale watching excursion, getaways to Tofino, Whistler, and Ucluelet.

Those interested must register on the auction platform to be able to bid. Once they register, bidders can choose whether they want to pick up their items at the Comox Valley ReStore or Campbell River ReStore.
