The Richmond Kajaks Track and Field Club is calling on the community to support its shredding fundraiser next week.

For the second year in a row, the pandemic has forced the cancellation of the club’s two major fundraisers, the Kajaks Concession at the Richmond Elementary School Zone Meets and the BC Elementary School Track & Field Championship Meet. 

In that respect, the non-profit club said the knock-on effects of the cancellations “has been significant” and it’s operating on a “very tight budget.”

It is hoping the community will come out in force to support its secure, on-site shredding event, courtesy of Shredwise, on Saturday, May 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at McMath secondary.

There is a minimum donation of $20.
