SIIE 50/50 DRAW

The weekly 50/50 draw in support of International and Indigenous Education Students is underway again.  There was no winner for this past week’s 50/50 draw (the lucky number was #39), so the jackpot rolls over to another week… hopefully to be close to $100 shared between the winner and the SIIE fundraising next week.  Please remember to add your toonie to the draw for your chance to win and support our traveling students.
