Eight paintings were on offer, each one donated by a local artist, all of whom lived in Stittsville except for one person from Ottawa. The auction was open to the general public, not just the  parishioners of St. Thomas.  All the themes were nature-inspired with the idea of supporting Indigenous people’s connection to the land.

When Robin Tilgner, one of the bidders, was asked why she wanted to take part in the auction, she replied that she “was delighted to see what the money was going to and getting a lovely thing in return was wonderful!”
