Canuck Place Children’s Hospice holds a special place in our hearts for the support they’ve provided to local family and friends in British Columbia for decades. For the month of October 2017, West Coast Kids (in partnership with Clek) ran a fundraising campaign where 10% of the sales of all Clek car seat and accessory sales from any of our stores across Canada, would be donated to Canuck Place. We internally set a goal of reaching $10,000 and were thrilled to reach that goal!! And on top of the $10,000 donation, we had a wonderful time surprising the staff at Canuck Place with a convertible car seat and a high-back booster, from Clek, to use in transporting children.
