The Canadian Lifeboat Institution’s annual dinner and fundraiser got off to a flying start with John Heseltine from the Tsawwassen branch of the Royal Canadian Legion presenting a cheque for $1,000 towards the operation of the Delta Lifeboat. 

When presenting the donation to the Canadian Lifeboat Institution vice president Brian Cook, Heseltine paid tribute to the dedication and support given by members of the Delta Lifeboat to the local maritime community.

The annual dinner was held at the Beach Grove Golf Club on Dec. 14 and was attended by 70 lifeboat crew members and supporters. The event raised $8,000 thanks to many private citizens and local businesses who contributed items for the silent auction.
