PAC THANK YOU! On behalf of the Journey Middle School PAC, a HUGE thank you to the community and businesses of Sooke who generously donated to replace ALL of the stolen emergency supplies!!! And not only that, but additional funds to be able to change the security of our bin. A special thank you to Chrystal at Seaside Sweets who asked all of the businesses in Sooke to donate. That was the most amazing part – as a PAC we didn’t even have to ask for these donations, they were just given freely. Thank you Sooke! What an amazing community we live in!!

Thanks goes to: Sooke Fax and Copy Centre, SFRS Community Thrift Store, Shadow West Security, BuddhaBox, Little Vienna Bakery, Delta Marine Service, Seaside Sweets, Mountain Heights Healing, Jessica Kent, Pizzability Glen Lake and Sooke, Fudge In A Round, R and L Interior Finishing,The French Family, Rooted Landscape Management, Coast Capital Savings Sooke, Royal Bank Sooke
