Our Honouree
Christy Clark’s dynamic career spanning politics, media and public life has established her as a prominent and influential voice in British Columbia. Known for her quick wit and sharp instincts, Christy has built a reputation as a leader with both determination and a great sense of humour.
Throughout her career, Christy has never shied away from spirited debate or challenging conversations. Her resilience, humour, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life have made her one of British Columbia’s most recognizable public figures. With a career spent in the public eye, she has plenty of memorable moments – and stories – that make her the perfect Roast honouree.
Roasting Christy is a chance to honour a leader whose resilience, character, and sense of humour have left a lasting impression. Bringing together community leaders, friends, and colleagues to celebrate her in this unique format reflects the spirit of connection, generosity, and camaraderie that the West Coast Roast was created to inspire.

West Coast Roast, presented by Nicola Wealth, is a philanthropic event bringing together comedy, community, and compassion. It celebrates individuals who have made a lasting impact while maintaining the humility and ability to laugh at themselves, providing the perfect foundation for an evening of good-natured banter, storytelling, and celebration.
Guests will be treated to a three-course gourmet dinner, silent and live auctions, Fund-A-Need, and a hilarious roast – followed by an after party like no other!
Women’s Health
West Coast Roast is helping redefine the future of arthritis for women with our Fund-A-Need. In Canada, one in four women live with arthritis compared to one in six men. Today, that translates to 3.6 million women and that number is expected to rise 65% by 2045.
Despite being disproportionately affected by the disease, women remain underserved by research and overlooked in care. At Arthritis Society Canada, we’re working to close the gap through groundbreaking research and trusted information and support that puts women’s health at the forefront.
Join us for this inspiring and impactful evening!
