FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The sixth annual Rotary Drive Thru Breakfast raised a record-breaking $24,000 in 2022.

According to the Fort St. John Rotary Club, proceeds will support the CDC Rotary Play Centre, the Rotary Skate Park, the Dudley and Gayle Wagner Rotary Room at North Peace Seniors Housing, the Rotary Spray Park and the Rotary RV Park.
“The Drive Thru Breakfast has become a signature event for Rotary, a time to enjoy fellowship and make new friends while serving our community,” said Vince van Wieringen, Breakfast Committee chair and past president of the Fort St. John Rotary Club.
“With the success of this year’s event, we are able to provide much-needed enhancements to several Rotary initiatives that continue to have a positive impact for families in Fort St. John.”
