With scores of volunteers of all ages, this week’s Emergency Services Food Drive was a huge success.
Volunteers scoured city neighbourhoods for donations, which were loaded into fire, police, BCAS and Parks Canada vehicles and taken to the RCMP detachment for storage.
The Current’s Keri Knapp went out with the volunteers Wednesday evening and captured these images:
