December 23, 2009 - Douglas students share holiday spirit

Douglas College students took time during the hectic mid-term season to make the holidays a little brighter for four local families.

The Douglas College Business Association, whose members are students in the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration, adopted a single mom with a six-year-old daughter through Fraserside Community Services in New West. Students say they were moved to take action by Lions Gate Entertainment founder Frank Giustra, who gave a talk at Douglas in the Fall.

“We were really inspired by Frank and what he said about the importance of philanthropy,” says DCBA member Hilary Loyd.
