FCHS Recognizes Hell's Gate Airtram as a Top Supporter

On Friday, August 30th, Fraser Canyon Hospice Society formally recognized Hell’s Gate Airtram as a Top Supporter of the charity following an annual cheque presentation.
For many years, Hell’s Gate Airtram had donated its monies raised from the Wishing Well on their property to different charities and organizations in the Fraser Canyon. It was with the passing of their General Manager Barry McKinney, in 1998, that the Fraser Canyon Hospice Society would become the Company’s Charity of Choice. All monies were then to be earmarked to cover the cable TV in the Palliative Care Wing of the Fraser Canyon Hospital in memory of their beloved Barry.
Since that time, the Hell’s Gate Staff have become more involved and have hosted different fund-raising events, such as Legion Bingo, Corporate Bowling, Spin the Wheel at the Annual Pumpkin Drop and Bottle Drives. Furthermore, Hell’s Gate has given in-kind door prizes for FCHS events, offered staff to volunteer and used these opportunities to raise awareness and inspire other community agencies to support the cause of Hospice Palliative Care.
Since 2006 alone, Hell’s Gate has contributed over $6,245 to the Society!
Thank you Hell's Gate Airtram! We are honoured to be your charity of choice.

Blue Moose Coffee House
On April 11, 2013, Blue Moose Coffee House hosted an exclusive Coffee Cupping evening, hosted by Aaron of Ethical Bean, and generously donated the $500 profits to our Society! Like wine tasting, coffee cupping is a way to enjoy the different flavors of different coffees. Check out the Moose (322 Wallace Street) for “an espresso experience.”
