A Terry Fox secondary graduate wants to add some colour to your home next year with his new calendar for charity.

The scenic snaps of areas such as Mundy, Como Lake, Rocky Point and Minnekhada parks as well as the Traboulay PoCo Trail and Pitt River were captured by Andrew Abrey, over the past eight months.

Abrey selected a dozen images for his 2021 calendar, of which 100% of the proceeds will go to three Tri-City non-profits: Crossroads Hospice Society, Share Family and Community Services and Tri-City Transitions.

“A lot of people have been stuck in their houses,” said the PoCo resident, who has been working remotely on information technology during the pandemic, “so the calendar is a nice way to brighten people’s homes because 2020 hasn’t been a good year with COVID and everything.”

“I also want to give back to the community especially during Christmas,” he said.

Abrey, who takes his Nikon cameras and lenses on daily walks, hopes to raise at least $500 for the three causes. He also plans to continue with the fundraising project in 2021.
