Janine and Dave made a commitment to donating $50,000 at Project Watershed’s annual Salmon BBQ in September. The donation cheque was presented on the Kus-kus-sum site later that month. The Kus-kus-sum initiative aims to unpave the abandoned sawmill site and create habitat for fish and wildlife. Janine and Dave’s generous donation helped Project Watershed make and surpass the amount needed for their October 30 payment to Interfor Co.
