Captain Stephen Holland says the numbers are down, simply because they don’t have the people they need.
“We’re down about $12,000 in Chatham, up about $1,200 in Wallaceburg and in Blenheim we’re down about $2,000 from last year this time,” says Holland. “A lot of that is because we haven’t been able to put our kettles out because we don’t have the volunteers. A kettle can’t be out unless we have some somebody standing with it a couple hours at a time.”
Holland says you can call him directly at 519-354-8353, and he’ll put you in touch with the people that organize each area.
