Vanderhoof Aquatic Center fundraising has cooled off during the Summer months.
Fundraising Chair Zoe Dhillon says with people out of town and the recent floods, efforts to fundraise have taken a back seat.
However, she says their next fundraiser should see things pick up once again:
“Our next fundraiser we are looking at is a comedy night at the end of October. Past fundraisers have been very well received, we had a big fundraiser in March that we raised about $17,000 with a silent auction and a dinner.”
Dhillon says they are making great progress, as they’ve raised a little less than half, about $230,000 – of their fundraising goal of $500,000.
Final engineering designs are expected to be completed soon, with a goal of construction set for 2017.
