Chocolate River Santa Coming to Town!

The Riverkeeper's second annual Christmas auction to benefit the Petitcodiac River was launched with great colour yesterday morning with the assistance of none other than Chocolate River Santa! We are putting on a silent auction at our offices on 18 Botsford Street in Moncton, up until December 12th, with all proceeds going towards our work to protect the river. The auction closure is set for 6:10 p.m. sharp on Thursday December 12th, and will be followed by a Christmas reception. In all, 40 items from art works to gift certificates to organic T-shirts will be featured in this auction, at prices ranging from $25 to $1,500, for a total value of over $9,000 in prizes.
