Long, Long Night of Hope Cheque Handover

Owen Heins from the Lookout Society of The North Shore was our guest speaker on Sunday and Donna also handed over this year's contribution of $16, 400 raised from the Long, Long Night of Hope.  

Owen spoke of the growing problem of homelessness and in adequate shelter on the North shore.  In fact, he stated, over 20,000 people were turned away from shelters that were full in the Lowermainland in 2024.  

Owen and Paul were very grateful to receive the cheque and stressed once again the importance of awareness of homelessness that is also an important aspect of the long, Long Night of Hope.
