Local groups are in the running to make their dreams come true, but they need your help. The Aviva Community Fund is giving away $1 million to the ideas with the most votes in a Canada-wide competition. The funds will be split between the entries with the
top votes, for each category, in an online voting competition at www.avivacommunityfund.org. The contest, which started in September, is now in
round three of voting, which ends Nov. 30. Entries with the most votes
from round three will move onto the semi-finals. One local group has already made it to the semi-finals, after making the top 10 in round two. Camp Hurlburt is thrilled with the amount of community
votes gained, as it seeks up to $150,000 to initiate phase one of a
rebuild of the 80-year-old camp. “We’re very thankful to everybody who has gotten us
there because it makes a big difference,” said Jennifer Yeo, with the
Camp Hurlburt Association. She added that the camp has had 1,325 individual people voting for it over the two rounds. “We just hope that everyone sticks to it and keeps voting, and vote every day.” Voting in the semi-finals begins Dec. 5 and ends Dec. 16. (more)
