Kids Cancer Care Camp Kindle Visit

Fire ant kids cancer care

Ed and Sara were honoured to be invited to a tour, BBQ lunch (with ice cream!) and meet the kids at beautiful Camp Kindle.

We love Camp Kindle!  Fire Ant Contracting have been lucky enough to visit Camp Kindle on many occasions; Ed and Sara were filmed as part of their television advertisement a few years ago and Fire Ant renovated the beautiful music hall. 

The highlight of this particular visit was to meet the amazing kids who are directly affected by childhood cancer and their very enthusiastic camp counsellors!

 

Camp Kindle is avilable to rent for corporate functions, team building, school groups, weddings etc.

A fantastic group of women meet 4 times a year for just one HOUR, each member donates $100 to a nominated charity and that charity gets a lovely cheque for over $10,000!!  Since the Calgary group started we have raised over $200,000 for local charities.  We always welcome new members, contact Sara if you have any questions or would like to join her at the next meeting.

Kids Cancer Care Foundation hired Fire Ant Contracting Ltd. to renovate both the interior and exterior of our Music Hall at Camp Kindle (a camp for children with cancer and their families). From start to finish, our team was impressed by the communication (face-to-face meetings, telephone and email) as it was timely and concise. The work was done as described, the quality excellent and the follow up thorough. We were pleased with the price and service and would be happy to contract with them again.

Kids Cancer Care Gala

Kids Cancer Care Fire Ant Contracting

Fire Ant Contracting proudly sponsors Kids Cancer Care Gala 

Fire Ant were fortunate to be sponsors of the incredible Kids Cancer Care Parents Quest for the Cure Gala on Saturday 7th March 2015.  This is the third year that we have partnered with this great event which raises funds for childhood cancer research.  Fire Ant hosted a wonderful tables of Fire Ant clients and suppliers who were wined and dined at the Westin downtown Calgary.  We heard from a brave cancer survivor family who eloquently spoke about their cancer journey with their six year old son.  A specialist research doctor spoke about where the research money is going and the huge effect it is having on families throughout Canada and the rest of the world.  

Fire Ant Contracting sponsored the silent auction which runs through an advanced tablet technology from Daana, we are looking forward to hearing the final fundraising amount.

Fire Ant donated 'The Ultimate Tool Kit' of hand picked tools and Fire Ant merchandise worth over $1000, thank you to the guest who won the item bidding $1,200!
