Backpack Drive Partnership

This year we are extremely grateful for our opportunity to partner with Koinonia Church to collect bags for our annual backpack drive. They collected bags after their Saturday church services for three weeks and were able to gather a total of 189 backpacks that will be put to good use by students in our community. We have not yet finalized the details to come of how we will be distributing our backpacks but be on the lookout on our socials for any updates.

Staff Appreciation Celebration

This month with a jam-packed office with seasonal staff and Canada Summer Jobs students we wanted to take the opportunity we had with all the staff we had to show our appreciation we had for them! We are so grateful for our staff and the effort they put into our organization as well as the positive environment that is collaboratively made by all our staff. We celebrated over burgers and fries from a local restaurant as well as some fun games!
