The Boreal Discovery Centre’s inaugural Walk, Run, Bike for the Boreal Fundraising Event raised over two thousand dollars.

Around 35 to 40 people participated at the event last Saturday, which included a two kilometre, five kilometre, and ten kilometre routes.

With Vale Manitoba Operations matching donations for money raised for the BDC between June and September, the total amount raised from the run is over four thousand dollars.

The funds collected will be used to build an accessibility ramp for the front entrance of the building.

The Boreal Discovery Centre is planning other fundraisers throughout the summer, with the Bud, Spud, and Steak Dinner taking place at Trapper’s Tavern tonight from 6 to 8 PM.
