Great fun. Already looking forward to this event. I’m hoping there are extra hot dogs this time?? Last year the supply died before we, including one of the swimmers, got to the table serving them.
Looking for people to sponsor. No way, I am going in without a wetsuit!

Let’s celebrate British Columbia’s Non-Profits!
What is #BCNonProfitDay?

It also serves as an opportunity to recognize the dedication of staff and volunteers who work each day to strengthen our communities.
Several non-profit sector partner organizations have collaborated to mark this important day, but they are encouraging and inviting all non-profits to tell their story and celebrate the vital role that non-profits play in creating and maintaining healthy, vibrant, and inclusive communities in British Columbia. ...
