Kelowna’s church community has chosen the NOW Canada low-barrier homeless shelter—Alexandra Gardner Women & Children Safe Centre—for a makeover as part of its Missions Now 2009 campaign.
In an effort to raise the funds needed for this work, the organizers have entered a contest through the Aviva Community Fund.
The Aviva Community Fund competition gives residents the chance to voice an idea that will create a lasting change in their community.
The most popular ideas, as chosen by Canadians, will have a chance at sharing in the $500,000 Aviva Community Fund.
The competition will involve three opening rounds, where you can enter your idea or support your favourites.
At the end of each round, 20 ideas go through to the semi-finals, but those that don’t make it through are still in the running.
They will have their vote count reset to zero and are automatically entered into the next qualifying round. That means everyone has up to three chances to compete to be one of the 62 semi-finalists. The competition closes to new entries on Nov. 29. Vote at www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf1326.
