When I heard about Timeraiser Vancouver last week on Miss604′s blog I thought it sounded like an awesome idea. It’s an art auction but instead of bidding in dollars you bid your time (volunteer hours) for local charities and non-profits.

I was sad that I wouldn’t be able to participate since I no longer live in Vancouver. But then I went to the Timeraiser website and found out that there is also a Timeraiser Edmonton, and it’s happening next month, on October 16th. Yay! You can even view the artwork that is up for auction in advance on their website. I look forward to attending the event and hopefully having a successful bid while there.
