Summer Counsellors Week
SAINT-LAZARE (Québec), August 6, 2010
Ville de Saint-Lazare has unveiled on August 6, 2010 at Community Centre
a marker holding names of 6 laureates cumulating 4 years of service for
the Semaine de la valorisation en animation estivale edition 2010
(Summer Counsellors Week). This year, laureates are: Smoothy, Sunny,
Flip, Westfalia, Flo and Figji! Moreover, this year, we have underlined
the great work of Mighty Mouse who cumulates 8 years working at the Day Camp. Amazing!
These young counsellors, in top of their regular tasks, team up to hold
a blood donor clinic during their spare times. 139 persons showed up to
give a gift of life! Amongst them, 27 were giving for the first time!
What a great opportunity to be a great model and to raise awareness to
this great cause! Congratulations!
