When you win, whales win too.

The jackpot starts at $10,000 and the winner takes half!

VANCOUVER, June 16, 2022 — The marine environment surrounding the Great Bear Rainforest contains the quietest ocean along the coastline of B.C. But with commercial vessel traffic expected to increase seven-fold by 2025 in some areas, the whales that call these waters home will soon have to contend with much more noise.

You can help recovering populations of humpback, killer and fin whales by playing WWF-Canada’s 50/50 Lottery. Proceeds support Gitga’at First Nation efforts to manage ship traffic within their territory and reduce impacts on wildlife.

Grand prize deadline: June 29, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.

Building a world where nature and people thrive is at the heart of WWF-Canada’s mission. This 50/50 Lottery is no different — when you win, nature and wildlife win too.

Plus, each purchase will help the jackpot grow!

CAMPBELL RIVER, BC, June 16, 2022 — Only hours remain to get your tickets for The Campbell River Hospital Foundation’s Annual Because You Care Lottery.

Get your Tickets today to make sure you’re in to win the Grand prize of: $20,000 Cash, 2^nd place, two tickets to anywhere in the world that WestJet fly’s and $1000 Cash, and 3^rd place is 2 nights at Crystal Cove Resort in Tofino and $1,000 Cash.

Plus the 50/50 Jackpot is already over $34,000!

Hurry, the clock is ticking!

Your Ticket will help loved ones stay close in times of crisis.

Imagine your loved one needing vital medical care, life-saving surgery, or cancer care. Now imagine driving more than 200 km to access that care.

Each day families from North Vancouver Island and the North Coast of BC Travel 4 hours of more to receive medical care at Campbell River Hospital.

During moments of crisis, this travel time combined with finding appropriate accommodation near the hospital can contribute to increased emotional stress and economic stress for both patients and their families. Often time’s people will forgo medical treatment, and when they do visit the hospital their health is at greater risk.

This 10 bedroom home will serve 32 communities and provide a safe, comfortable home away from home for patients and their loved ones seeking medical care that they cannot receive in their home communities.

For more information on how to give your support, please contact us at 250-286-7164.

Thank you to WestJet, The Travel Place/Travel Plus, The Raven 100.7, Peninsula Co-op, and Crystal Cove Resort.

About Royal Columbian Hospital:

From the beginning, Royal Columbian Hospital has stood at the heart of health care in British Columbia. Created by visionary pioneers to provide compassionate care to those building a new province, we have participated in the social and economic changes of British Columbia since 1862. Today, we are one of British Columbia’s busiest hospitals, serving a population of close to two million people. We are a regional referral hospital for cardiac, trauma, neurosciences, high-risk maternity and neonatal intensive care. No other hospital in the province provides all of these services, at this level of care, on one site. We provide the highest level of care to the most critically ill and injured from throughout the province.

Valuable Minutes

“I have always loved my barbershop. I’ve got customers who came in with their fathers and went in booster chairs. Now they are married with kids, and I’m doing their kids now.” –Dave Castle

Dave Castle had no indication prior to his stroke. He just remembers “coasting” or “floating” backwards until a co-worker came and helped him lie down, at which point he fell unconscious until the ambulance arrived.

When he reached Royal Columbian, a CT scan confirmed it was a stroke. The medical team ushered him into an emergency thrombectomy where they would slide a catheter from his leg artery to his head to remove the clot. Furthermore, one of Dave’s vessels had narrowed, which only added to the challenge. To help with this, interventional radiologist Robert van Wiltenburg opened it up with a balloon angioplasty of his carotid artery.

Dave was able to return home after several days spent at the hospital, and returned for the next step in his treatment a few weeks later— which involved a metal stent placed in the narrowed section of the blood vessel. Interventional radiologist Dr. William Siu, who performed the procedure, said this would ensure that the artery wouldn’t close up again and cause another stroke.

Royal Columbian is one of only a small number of hospitals in the province with the capability of performing these procedures. Donors to Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation have since added to the technology, by funding artificial intelligence software that assists the medical team in the patient’s initial diagnosis.

“Once the CT scan gets performed, this software does a preliminary assessment of the brain,” says Dr. Siu. “It will instantaneously notify the physician team of the patient’s status while the patient is still on the CT scanner. A program like this saves us valuable minutes.”

Dave was back to working at his beloved barbershop just weeks after his stroke and says he feels great, all thanks to the hard-working medical team at Royal Columbian Hospital.

About Paws for Hope Animal Foundation

Paws for Hope’s number one priority is to keep families together. Access to veterinary care is the number one animal welfare issue facing companion animals in our province. More animals suffer from inadequate access to veterinary care than they do from intentional acts of cruelty or neglect and the Better Together program solves this very significant problem. This one health veterinary healthcare program not only provides significantly subsidized veterinary care for low income pet families, but also also ensures they have the community social services supports families need to live healthy, safe and connected lives.

In addition the No Pet Left Behind program provides temporary foster care for pets for people in crisis. Whether they are fleeing violence, seeking addiction or mental health treatment or at risk of homelessness because they cannot find pet friendly housing, our foster care program provides a critical support to help individuals get back on their feet and stay united with their non-human family members.
