There have been many big donors…Thank you to Ernie Skinner, who, along with his daughter Christine Hein and her husband Darryl Hein (of Market on Yates and Market on Millstream,) donated $10,000. Joyce Mitchell has donated in many ways and added $5,000! Just before Christmas, the $10,000 donation from North Saanich Councilor, Craig Mearns, was matched from an anonymous donor! Early in the campaign a young man named Sebastian really helped to kick off our optimism by raising over $22,000 singlehandedly from people in Calgary and in Deep Cove. Even the lovely little store Deep Cove Market raised a further $800 with a simple donation jar in our name! Our heartfelt thanks to every donor for their amazing support.
