Canucks Fever 

Canucks Fever

Levi, a client of Vancouver Coastal Health, enjoys a Canucks game from a suite at Rogers Arena donated by Boston Pizza Foundation.

As Vancouver was gripped by Canucks Fever, another lucky boy had the chance of a lifetime to attend a Stanley Cup playoff game thanks to the generosity of Wastech Services Ltd:

 

"Tyler was extremely excited to see the Canucks in action against San Jose. The seats were amazing, right behind the Canucks bench, and he got to see his favourite players up close. The game was unbelievable and Tyler had a great time. He came home exhausted and went straight to bed, but not before telling his mom how much fun he had at the Canucks game.

 

Thanks so much for thinking of us, this was the perfect pick-me-up for a very sick young man".
