10th Annual Christmas Jazz Concert

Our annual Christmas Jazz Concert is fast approaching! This year will be our 10th annual concert, and we are so excited to bring holiday cheer to you and your loved ones. 

Location: Brentwood Presbyterian Church (1600 Delta Ave, Burnaby)
Date & Time: November 27th, 7pm to 10pm – doors open at 6:30pm PST

Featuring performances by our favourite Jazz Trio – Miles Black, Glenda Rae, and Brett Wade! 

Besides musical performances, our concert will feature a silent auction with a variety of exciting items you wouldn’t want to miss out on! Stay tuned for more details. 

All proceeds go towards Dixon’s Transition Society’s Transitional Housing Programs. These programs include first, second, and third stage housing which are staffed by trained and compassionate Support Workers who provide practical and emotional support for women and their children. While accessing our services, women are provided with food, clothing, basic personal and household supplies, workshops, counselling support, and so on, all at no cost to the client.

A special thank you to:

• Rev. Dr. Brian Fraser and the Sanctuary in Brentwood for hosting this event, and for their continued generosity and support of our work
• Miles Black, Glenda Rae, and Brett Wade for donating their time and talent for yet another year

Tickets are now on sale for $25 on Eventbrite.

Please note that to ensure the health and safety of all attendees, the capacity for this year’s concert is limited to 50 persons.

We acknowledge that this event, and our work at Dixon Transition Society, takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

9th Annual Christmas Fundraiser

Dixon Transition Society is thrilled to present our 9th Annual Christmas Fundraiser! This Silent Auction features a variety of exciting and highly valuable bundles you wouldn’t want to miss out on! Bidding is open now, until midnight, Dec 14th! Want to get involved in more ways than one? Test your luck by purchasing tickets for our 50/50 Raffle Draw ($10 for 5 entries/$25 for 15 entries)!

All proceeds raised from the Silent Auction and Raffle Draw go to Dixon House—our 10-bed emergency shelter for women and children fleeing violence. This transition house is staffed 24/7 by our trained and compassionate staff who provide practical and emotional support for the women and their children. While at the house, women have access to food, clothing, basic personal and household supplies, workshops, counselling, and so on, all at no cost.

Please note that in light of the increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases and the announcement made by Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer on Thursday, Nov 19th, outlining the new restrictions and recommendations aimed at getting the spread of the pandemic back under control, we are unable to host our Christmas Jazz Concert at this time (click for more details). However, we are happy to be able to continue with our online Silent Auction! The women we serve are in need of your help, now more than ever; your contributions help us give them the support and resources they need to battle the effects of this pandemic.

A special thank you to:

• Our very generous sponsors and donors, who make it possible for Dixon to continue to provide support and services to women and children fleeing domestic violence
