Lafarge -

Atco Gas The tarps we borrowed were very helpful
Our incredible team of parent volunteers - people like Joe and who started at 9am and didn't leave until 10:30 pm and Douglas who worked all weekend even though his kids are in High School. What a great team-building activity! There were lots of connections made during the build, faces matched with names and we hope new friendships formed! We couldn’t have done it without every single one of you. Every last minute desperate call for volunteers was answered. Every time the schedule changed, our volunteers attempted to juggle their schedules and help. Through all the frustrations, we received such positive support from all our parents. Thank you all!!!

Food and Beverage:
In addition to all the wonderful baking, snacks and drinks dropped off by parents, our build was supported by the following edible donations:
Extreme Bean provided both breakfast and lunch; http://www.extremebean.ca/
The Shykula family provided both breakfast and lunch;
Olive Grove Pizza (Stadium) provided 2 suppers and a discount for a third; http://www.olivegrovepizza.com/
Huan Zhuo and Anthony Tran at Noodle House & Grill (734-7 Ave SW and MacEwan Hall, University of Calgary) provided a fantastic supper-to-go with almost no notice;
Cobs Bakery (Stadium) provided LOTs of scones; http://www.cobsbread.com/
Lazy Loaf provided two trays of cookies; http://www.lazyloafandkettle.com/
Our food schedule changed at the same pace as our build schedule, but our donors stuck with us! We really appreciate their patience and flexibility as well as all the yummy food!
