The North Okanagan Community Life Society’s second annual ‘Living Flag’ fundraiser took place Canada Day in Grahame Park.
Adorned in red, about 200 participants gathered in the shape of a maple leaf Monday morning and pilot Tom Glover took a Morning Star reporter above the scene to snap a few photographs.
While the entire event took was over in about 30 minutes, it’s effects will be long-lasting. NOCLS raised nearly $3,000. The money will go towards a local Liam Thiessen, 8, who is living with a rare lifelong form of epilepsy. Due to the unpredictability of his seizures, he requires around the clock support. Proceeds contributed through this fundraiser will go towards equipment he needs.
