Burn Awareness Week: Children’s Poster Judging

Andrea — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 00:21:40 +0000

The 14th annual Burn Awareness Week poster judging contest took place this year at the Old Spagetti Factory in Gastown. We were there along with other sponsors of the Firefighter’s Burn Fund Association to deliberate on the winner of this year’s poster which will be used to promote fire safety across BC. Capilano has been a proud sponsor for 3 years raising over $80,000 for the cause through our Canyon Lights event in December as well as other initiatives.

Thousands of elementary students from all over British Columbia participated in the contest with fun and lively illustrations that aim to promote safety and help make everyone aware of potentially harmful situations. This year was the most robost year for the contest with over 1500 entries. We had a lot of fantastic entries to go through and having appies, drinks, and dinner courtesy of the Old Spagetti Factory, fuelled us throughout the evening! The winner will be announced shortly by the Firefighter’s Burn Fund Association so stay tuned!
