Community is helping community in Vermilion River County.
A donation of $12,800 was raised during the Islay curling bonspiel held January 27-29, where 14 teams competed. The get-together included a delicious Saturday evening banquet, silent and live auctions as well as food concession.
“Our volunteer firefighters are usually the ones serving their community,” said County Fire Chief Kirk Hughes. “This highlights the type of positive relationships our residents have with County Firefighters that they’d think of us to gift this donation to”.
The Islay Curling Club is hoping that the event becomes an annual tradition. The money will be directed towards a newly formed benevolent fund.
Islay is a hamlet located northeast of Vermilion.
