Prince George, B.C.-  There is no fun in being  in hospital  when  Christmas is just around the corner,  but today  was a special  one for  those  on the paediatric ward  at the University Hospital of Northern B.C.

The P.G. Humane Society  chose the  paediatric unit   as a recipient  of  one of its 12 days of giving.

Today, ,the P.G. Humane Society’s  mascot “Chance” along with  helpers from Big Brothers Big Sisters,  were on hand to deliver  some joy to those on the ward.

“We have 12 days of giving, where we’re giving back to the community” says P.G Humane Society  CEO  Angela McLaren.  “Everyday  we go out into the community and we do something for  the community to say thank you for giving to us.   Today, we chose the  paediatrics  ward.  All the kids are getting teddy Bears from  Pet Smart.  We have ‘Chance’, our mascot  giving out  some things to the kids and giving them big hugs,  and  Spruceland’s Little Ceasars is donating pizza for the  kids today.”

The  Days of Giving  continue until Christmas,  and   locations and events  can be  found on the P.G. Humane society’s  facebook page .
