A 10-year-old local student has won first place in her age category in the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s second annual Kids Salmon Art Contest.
The contest attracted more than 500 art submissions, inspired by salmon, from students ages four through 17 from across B.C. and the Yukon. The contest raises awareness of declining salmon populations amid a multitude of challenges brought on by climate change and habitat loss.
“As a Vancouver Island business of 35 years that is family-run, guided by old-fashioned family values, we all wanted to work hard to give back and support our local community food banks so that even more families had the opportunity this year to break bread together over the holidays and beyond.”>>> Construction team raises cash for families Members of the Vancouver Island Construction Association raised more than $20,000 in groceries and toys for families in need.
Other recipient schools include Ruth King Elementary in Langford, Tillicum in Saanich, George Jay and Oaklands Elementary Schools in Victoria, and Cedar Elementary in Campbell River. In addition to the grocery gift card program, $7,000 worth of new toys were donated to CFAX’s Santa’s Anonymous, The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive and the Parksville Society of Organized Services. A $500 donation was made to the Ladysmith Resource Centre.
