Deputy Mayor D. Loken, on behalf of City Council, advised that members of the HMCS Edmonton visited the Ester Starkman School. Mrs. Starkman is the ships sponsor and the crew wanted to do something special for the school that was named after her. For several weeks instead of waking up each morning to the shrill and sound of a whistle, the crew members paid $2 a week to have music played through the ships PA system. In addition, every weekend they held Make Your Own Sundae events and raised a total of $512 for the library at the school. Even though the crew is based out of Victoria they worked hard to stay connected to our city and Deputy Mayor D. Loken would like to publicly thank the crew of the HMCS Edmonton for investing in the youth of our city and for being wonderful ambassadors. |
