Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents -
The City of Campbell River thanks the region’s three big fish farm companies for their donations to specialized recreation.
Grieg Seafood has sponsored programs for adults and youth with disabilities for the past seven or eight years.
When Grieg said they were not sure they could donate as much in 2020, the city asked Cermaq Canada West and MOWI to also contribute.
“They agreed, but Cermaq decided they want to do more. So, they give a little bit more,” said Deb Simpson, a Specialized Recreation Programmer who normally operates out of the Campbell River Community Centre.
These corporate donations were all “under $2,000.”
The only other donation Simpson mentioned was “a healthy snack and drinks for our After School program for youth with disabilities or special needs” provided by Thrifty Foods.
