On December 17, 2009 the East Vancouver Campus held one of their biggest and most successful potlucks ever. The potluck was held in the East Vancouver campuses new nursing/rca building. Over 100 staff and students attended the potluck. Entertainment was provided by 4 talented students who sang their hearts out. Prizes were given out for people who gave food bank donations. Prizes included Canucks tickets, Sprott Shaw paraphernalia, and an autographed Kevin Bieksa hat. Students who donated food put their names into a draw for prizes. East Vancouver total food donations reached a record high, over 500 items (about 14 boxes). There was plenty of food for everyone! I spoke to the lovely advisor from the East Vancouver campus and she was saying how she is grateful to have such amazing students and coworkers.

What a great way to wrap up the year and a very generous donation!!

The Maple Ridge campus is well into the Holiday spirit, all the students and staff deserve a pat on the back for getting into the spirit of giving this holiday season, so far this year we have accomplished the following:

Christmas Food Drive Competition–> Congrats to the CSWSS class for accumulating the most donations for the Maple Ridge food bank. Overall, we managed to raise over 400 items so far in less than a month.

Adopt a Family –> Maple Ridge would like to thank the Cythera Transition House Society for recommending a family in need. This year the Maple Ridge campus adopted a single mom who is just recovering from surgery and needed some assistance providing a good Christmas for her kids, a 14 year old son and a 19 year daughter who is expecting her first child in April.

The Maple Ridge Campus raised enough money to buy everything on their Christmas Wish List!!!

Salvation Army Blankets and Clothing Drive –> This has been an overwhelming success, raising over 70 items so far, again Maple Ridge would like to commend the students and staff at the campus for being in the spirit giving.

Both the Food Bank and Salvation Army drives are continuing throughout the holiday season.

More exciting news for the Maple Ridge campus include:
