The Greater Vancouver Home Builders' Association (GVHBA) - in partnership with The Tri-City News' parent company, Black Press - has launched its 18th annual Coats for Kids campaign in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, a group whose outreach helps to provide a brighter Christmas for families in need.
In addition to the GVHBA office, 33 member companies at 46 locations in 13 municipalities, including Port Moody, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, will serve as coat drop-off sites from Nov. 18 to Dec. 6. The Tri-City News' office in Port Coquitlam will also be a drop-off location.
