Coldstream will fly campaign banners -- By Jennifer Smith

The largest fundraiser in the North Okanagan has gained another local supporter.

The District of Coldstream has agreed to fly a banner of support at the municipal office for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation’s Building a Tower of Care Campaign.

The campaign goal is to raise $7 million to equip the new patient care tower, which is anticipated to open in spring 2011.

“Elected officials have really shown their leadership by lending this campaign a hand and standing out as supporters,” said Richard Rolke, foundation vice-president.

Coldstream is also sending the foundation a letter of support for the campaign.

“If we go out and seek grants and things it shows that we have the community’s support behind us,” said Rolke.

Coldstream has also set up a donation box at the municipal office for those who would like to financially support the campaign.
