Spend a day on the North Saskatchewan River!
Paddling for Compassion provides you with the unique opportunity to spend an invigorating day on the North Saskatchewan River enjoying stunning surroundings and the companionship of friends, family and co-workers. While paddling from Devon to Edmonton you will not only get to experience the beauty of the North Saskatchewan River first hand but you will also have the opportunity to raise funds that will support an organization committed to establishing healthy relationships and healthy communities- Cornerstone Counselling Centre. All funds raised will go towards Cornerstone’s Compassion Fund that provides those in need with subsidized professional counselling services.
Included in the day is transportation, snacks, meals and entertainment

The Cornerstone Counseling Society of Edmonton, known as Cornerstone Counseling Centre, plans to raise an estimated $77,000 at the 2009 Paddling for Compassion event. It will cost Cornerstone an estimated $33,000 to conduct this event. The money raised will be used to supplement counseling fees so Cornerstone can continue to offer subsidized fees to clients unable to pay the full cost of counselling services. ED Marketing and Communications Inc. is conducting this event and will be renumerated based on a contracted fee for service which is included in the estimated event costs. For further information, please contact Marjorie Zelent, Executive Director at 780.482.6215 Extension 25.
