Today, we have a remarkable story of people showing up for one another, both near and far.
First and foremost, we want to extend a HUGE and heartfelt thank you to the firefighters who have been working tirelessly to protect communities, homes and properties from wildfires across BC. We are especially proud of the members of our local Comox Fire Rescue, Courtenay Volunteer Fire Department, Oyster River Fire Rescue, and Errington Fire Department who travelled to the Clinton area to lend their skills, strength and support when the Pear Lake and 59 Mile wildfires merged. ๐๐ฉต๐๐งก๐
And from their incredible efforts came another beautiful act of community.
Bolster Enterprises Ltd. had not one but TWO properties, incredibly important to them, protected by these crews. In gratitude, Bolster Enterprises chose to make a generous donation to YANA! ๐ฅน
There is something pretty special about watching one act of care ripple into another: firefighters travelling beyond their own communities to help people in need, a local business experiencing that kindness firsthand, and then choosing to pass it along to families here in the Comox Valley.
To the firefighters, thank you for showing up. ๐
To Bolster Enterprises, thank you for paying that gratitude forward. ๐
And to every person who continues to prove that community extends far beyond our own backyard, thank you.
This is what looking out for one another looks like. It's community caring for community, kindness inspiring more kindness, and a beautiful reminder that wherever we may be, You Are Not Alone.
