Strong connections are more important now than ever and the team behind Revy Unstuck sees that first-hand.
And so, for the second year in a row, they endeavoured to make people happy on Valentine’s Day.
Mission: Surprise Valentine asked the community for nominations and donations and the team spent Feb. 14 delivering packages filled with love and spreading smiles.
This year the crew, headed by Sandra Gregory, had 50 nominations and gave away around $1,000 in gifts, though at least half of that was donated.
South Side Market jumped on board this year, donating flowers and giving shoppers the opportunity to nominate and donate to the cause. Candy bags were also donated by the Sugar Shack while Wandering Root offered hot beverages to volunteers at the end of the day.
Students from Begbie View Elementary created witty Valentines to include in the packages.
Gregory was joined by Ella Carmichael, Celine Rytz, Lisa Moore, Adria Tillen and Maja Swannie Jacob in delivering the valentines with organizational help from Lisa Cyr.
Revy Unstuck is a volunteer group who help those in need shovel snow.
