The Knights of Columbus presented a cheque to the Sparwood Old Age Pensioners Society for $12,500.

The large donation will go towards the construction project of the breezeway between the Seniors Drop-In Centre and Lilac Terrace. The breezeway will provide easier and safer access between the two facilities.

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic-based fraternal organization engaged in local and global charity work as well as unity, fraternity and patriotism. The Sparwood chapter has approximately 25 members.
