Around the County

GOOD CORPORATE CITIZEN - The Hudson's Bay Company turned 335 years old on May 2 and to celebrate Zellers, a HBC owned store, donated a total of $2,250 to a number of local Cumberland County charities. A large part of the amount came from the sale of Charity Plus, a line of five different plush toys available year round at the store with proceeds going to local charities. From the left presenting cheques on behalf of the local Zellers is Tobi Byrne with ARHS bursary representative Charlotte Fawthrop, Judy Tooke of the board of directors of Autumn House, Jodi Swan who is the managing director of the Cumberland County Health Care Centre Foundation, and United Way director Cathy Skinner. All four groups were delighted to receive funds from HBC during their birthday celebrations. by Sandra Bales
