An afternoon of rock to raise funds for — and build awareness about — autism moves from the Paddlewheeler Pub to Rocky Point Park this year.
Rock for Autism founder Guy Picard said the second annual concert, which starts at the PCT Performance Stage in Port Moody on Sunday, June 17 at noon — will include eight music acts over seven hours.
AutismBC and Lindsay Music are festival partners.
Picard said the goal is to help people with autistic spectrum disorder get — and keep — a paying job.
“There are many win-win situations to look at where persons on the spectrum fit well and contribute not only to the bottom line, but the overall morale of the company,” he told The Tri-City News.
