B.C. Liquor Stores customers raise over $159,000 for wildfire evacuees

Thanks to the generosity of B.C. Liquor Stores customers around the province, more than $159,000 in donations were collected for the Canadian Red Cross’s appeal to assist B.C. residents affected by this year’s devastating wildfires.

The amount raised by the B.C. Liquor Stores will now be matched by the provincial government.

B.C. liquor Stores activated their partnership with the Red Cross on August 20th, to help much-needed financial support for people affected by the wildfires.

Shown below are the top three B.C. Liquor Stores by donations:

  1. Westwood Centre (Port Coquitlam): $11,060

  2. Sooke: $10,340

  3. Terrace: $9,292

All funds raised will go directly to the Red Cross to provide evacuees with shelter, food, and water. Donations will also support long-term recovery, resiliency, and preparedness for future events in British Columbia and the Yukon
