Our 2022 Goal

$90,000

Annually, we directly support 1,500 people in the Bow Valley.

The BVCSC was started by the Canmore Lioness Club. By 1997 a volunteer committee established the organization and by 2000 we received our society status.

Since our inception hundreds of families have benefited from the generosity of others and learned that Christmas wishes do come true!
