Island Savings members who love country music are looking at an exciting summer.
They are eligible for discounted pricing on full-event passes to Sunfest as a special promotion running until July 15 and there’s also the chance to win a VIP package that includes the opportunity to meet Sunfest’s headliner, superstar Keith Urban.
Discount codes, providing a $25 savings on full-event passes as well as ballots for the Keith Urban contest will be available at all Island Savings branches from May 5 to July 15.
"We’re proud to partner with the people who bring us Sunfest every year," said Karen Foster, branch manager at Island Savings’ Duncan Centre and Cowichan Commons branches. "We’re thrilled to see the boost Sunfest
gives local businesses and the economy each year and we love the festival’s commitment to supporting locally grown talent." The Vancouver Island Sikh Cultural Society has donated $3,000 to the Auxiliary to the Cowichan District Hospital.
"We have been considering where this donation should go," Auxiliary President Claire Wessan said. "It would be appropriate to recognize not just this donation but the continued support of the Sikh community. We received $4,500 last year and once a year the ladies from the Sikh community come together and make samosas, etc. that are given to us to sell at the hospital, a very popular initiative. This year we were sold out in 10 minutes and made $1,000. They have volunteered to do this twice a year now."
