Sunday April 14, 2024.
On April 4, 2024, The Rotary Club of Ladysmith presented Tim Harris, coach of the Raiders Soccer FC from the Stz'uminus First Nation, a cheque for $500. Most players are between the ages of 16 and 19.
The mandate of the team is to support the nations' males in being healthy and to support their mental health. The donation is meant to help with the cost of entering soccer tournaments held by many of the First Nations communities.
We hope that they will have a great season.
