The Link newspaper in Surrey, British Columbia reported:
Longshore union local ILWU 502 has raised $22,000 for the Children’s Hospital. Last year they raised $20,502, and with still a few weeks left they have easily beaten their old record. The telethon will be broadcast on Global TV June 2 and 3. 'This is a very good cause and we are going to raise as much as we possibly can,' they stated. The telethon raises millions every year for the Children’s Hospital.
