The Rotary Club of Burnaby - Deer Lake Festival of Lights has been making life a bit brighter for Burnaby students through their Boots for Kids program. Since the inception of the Boots for Kids program, over 3,200 students have received new boots. The funds raised through the Festival of Lights provide the funds to purchase these new boots. We are thankful for our sponsors and the City of Lougheed Mall to ensure the legacy of the Festival of Lights that is in its 27th year. Starting on November 16th, 2024, the trees will be on display at the City of Burnaby Mall.
With the cooler wet winter weather and temperatures fast approaching, many of us are getting ready to pull out the rain boots, but there are many here in Burnaby who are in need of this essential winter item. Children are walking to and from school without proper footwear. It is the mission of "Boots For Kids" to give new, warm, accurately sized boots and socks to these children. With the cooperation of community schools, corporate and individual donors, we can meet our goal of outfitting needy children in the Burnaby area with rain boots.
The Rotary Club of Burnaby - Deer Lake awarded the 2024 scholarship to Kevin an outstanding student headed to UBC, who closely matched the ideals of Rotary. Congratulations to Kevin, we wish you continued success in your future endeavours.
