Hello Gisela,
We at the Kamloops Chapter , Council of Canadians, congratulate TEN on an exciting start. We’d like to offer you and other community groups the opportunity to be part of our project to publicize such important community resources as TEN through a fall tabloid that will have wide distribution.
We have several social service and arts groups on board and think this a fine way for TEN to introduce itself to the community.
Please call our chairperson, Anita Strong, at (250) 377-0055 or email me for further details.
Thanks.
