We were all very excited when we got the email to let us know that our family had been one of the lucky ones selected to attend the Lower Mainland CHN Family Camp.
This global movement, designed for giving and volunteering, takes place each year after Cyber Monday. The opening day of the giving season is a day where charities, companies, and individuals join together to share commitments, rally for favourite causes, and think about others.
