KitingforKids, in which kite boarders cross from Vancouver Island – Nanaimo to Davis Bay and back to Nanaimo, was recently held to raise funds for the B.C. Children’s Hospital. The goal was to raise $20,000.

The group is headed by Parksville sales rep kite boarder Ken Droog of Re/Max First Realty. “We are really pleased with the response this year and have some very talented kite boarders from around Vancouver Island and the mainland joining us…We are excited with our progress and the excellent support shown by the B.C. kite community and the Vancouver Island business community.”
