Bayfest commits to helping youth at risk

Bayfest has teamed up with St. Clair Child & Youth Services to raise funds for their Crisis Follow-Up Program.

The Sarnia Bay Harbour along Centennial Park will be full of excitement and emotion as over 2000 yellow country and rockstar rubber ducks float down the shoreline as they race to the finish line.  The event will happen as part of the International Power Boat Races on Saturday Aug. 11 at 10:00 a.m.

The Crisis Follow-Up Program partners St. Clair Child & Youth Services and Bluewater Health to identify children or youth who are at risk of harm to themselves.  The main focus of the program is to provide follow-up counseling after the Hospital has determined the level of risk.  For more information on this program, please refer to:  www.stclairchild.ca.

Racing numbers can be purchased for $10.00 each or 3 for $25.00.  They will be available at St. Clair Child & Youth Services, 129 Kendall Street, Point Edward (starting Jun. 5), or during Bayfest.

People are asked to please show their support and purchase a racing number to help support Crisis Follow-Up in our community.  If you would like to donate a prize or sponsor any amount to the Rockin’ Rubber Duck Race, please contact the Bayfest Office, 519-337-4474 or email info@sarniabayfest.com.
