For the 12th year in a row, Bell Aliant has sponsored the Backpacks For Kids program locally. This year, 75 backpacks were provided by Bell and filled with school supplies donated by groups in the community.
The backpacks will be distributed through the Chatham-Kent Women’s Centre. Here Tim Lozon of Bell and Women’s Centre staff, from left, Cindy Howes, Luisa Teasdale and Grace Van Praet show off some of the backpacks.
More than 350 backpacks have been donated through the program.
