Oak Bay Marine Group

Oak Bay Marine Group: Oak Bay Marine Group has donated the entire gift-shop inventory about $30,000 worth of toys, clothing and souvenirs from the downtown attraction it had run for 50 years to the 2013 C-FAX Santas Anonymous campaign. , according to Times Colonist. Every year, the charity delivers gifts and food hampers at Christmas. In 2012, more than 275 volunteers wrapped about 7,000 toys to distribute over the holidays. Even though it closed Oct. 16, Undersea Gardens will make Christmas brighter for children in the capital region. It was so unexpected and a great way to kick-off the campaign, said Christine Hewitt, executive director of the C-FAX Santas Anonymous Society. It is a great help to our efforts to enhance the lives of local children in our community. Not only will it make for a happier Christmas, the scope of the donation means enough toys will be left over to touch lives for the remainder of the year. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
