Tourism superstars Shotover Canyon Swing and Canyon Fox have donated $12,500 to a Kaikoura local fund in order to rebuild the Waiau School and Community Pool. To celebrate its ‘Oneth’ birthday, Shotover Canyon Fox offered locals and visitors an adrenaline fix for just $50, will all proceeds going to the rebuild fund.
“To be handed a cheque for over twelve thousand dollars is amazing and we’re very appreciative to Shotover Canyon Fox,” said Emma Duncan, Waiau School and Community Rebuild Committee. “It would take us months to fundraise this sort of money as we’re such a small community, and it has put us one step closer to achieving our end goal.”
Shotover Canyon Swing General Manager Matt Hollyer said that he couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate one year of operations. “We chose Waiau School for the birthday fundraiser as we wanted to support a service that benefited an entire community. We’re looking forward to pop in for a swim when it’s up and running.”
