From August to December of 2023, I volunteered as Co-Chair of an annual fundraising event in Antigonish called Lovin' the Lights. Lovin' the Lights is an event aimed at providing some fun family entertainment during the holidays while raising money for a good cause. Community members are encouraged to enter their house into the contest, and voting cards and maps to houses entered are then sold so people can enjoy the holiday lights and vote for their favourite homes to win a cash prize. This year was the most successful year yet and we were able to donate a total of $5,000 which was split evenly between L'arche and CACL Antigonish. It was a wonderful experience and I look forward to contributing again next year! Thank you #East Coast Credit Union for being a major sponsor and for giving us a volunteer day each year so we can spend extra time ensuring our volunteer events are a success!
