The Canim Lake Band is a finalist in a province-wide video storytelling campaign that could net thousands of dollars toward health and well-being programs in that local First Nations community.
As part of the Pacific Blue Cross's “Share the Care” initiative, the Canim Lake Band (Tsq’escenemc), through its Wellness Program and White Feather Centre, is one of five finalists in the running for $50,000.
Pacific Blue Cross has promised each of the five organizations a $5,000 donation for participating in the campaign to celebrate the insurance provider's 75th Anniversary.
British Columbians are now invited to vote for their favourite video at www.pac.bluecross.ca/75thAnniversary. The two videos with the most votes at the end of the campaign (on Dec. 6) will have their donations increased to $50,000 and $10,000, respectively.
The Canim Lake Band is being recognized for its programs that help ensure the social and holistic well-being of its community members by encouraging and supporting the pursuit of culturally relevant, active and healthy lifestyles.
Winners will be announced in early January.
