SPARK PLUG
BC Hydro staff were in Coquitlam to promote power savings at the women's Whitecaps game last weekend. Lucas Van Laethenu joined community outreach rep Chris Dinsdale, who taught about the need to unplug unused electronics.
YEAH FOR KIDS!
Several Tri-Cities Champions for Young Children were given recognition during a special event hosted by the Tri-Cities' Early Childhood Development Committee last month. The winners were acknowledged during a gala at Coquitlam's Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club. They are: Kerrigan Gymnastics Academy, Denise Anderson, Debra Smith, Mary Anne Nelson, Friendly Forest Parent Co-operative Preschool and Vicki Lepper.
GOOD JOB
Coquitlam staff at Kirmac celebrated their annual fundraiser last month with a Cares for Kids barbecue for the community. The company took a percentage of earned income from each of its repairs to help kids in medical need. This year's total of $152,041 beat last year's donation of $120,000. The money will be donated at the 25th annual BC Children's Hospital Miracle Weekend.
