Friday, March 12, 2010

Victoria, BC – The Victoria Salmon Kings, proud affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks and Manitoba Moose, will present their second annual Eco Night event in conjunction with The Land Conservancy (TLC) at tomorrow night’s contest to promote ecological awareness.

Throughout the night, TLC will be raffling off a Clipper Canoe from Ocean River Sports, and will be handing out a limited amount of tree saplings from their concourse booths after the game. TLC will also be selling reflective green arm-bands throughout the evening with all proceeds supporting their current projects. The “green bands for green lands” will be available for $5 each.

Cannor Nursery will also be on hand handing out 500 packages of vegetable seeds. The CRD will be in attendance raffling off a low-flow toilet as well as handing out leak detector tablets and rain gauges. Other partners in attendance will include BC Hydro Power Smart, Sustainable U, General Paint, Discover Chiropractic, Accent Inns, Shaw, West Coast Air, and WildPlay Element Parks. Make sure to visit the display booths of these local businesses in the concourse area of the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre for information on their dedication to improving the environmental footprint!

The Salmon Kings will also be donating all proceeds from their 50/50 and Chuck-a-Puck promotions on Eco Night to TLC. The winner of the Chuck-a-Puck promotion will receive a weekend getaway to TLC’s first acquisition, South Winchelsea Island, near Nanoose Bay. The travel package includes ferry service to-and-from the 25-acre island, as well as accommodation in a six-person cottage.

The Salmon Kings and Steelheads continue their three-game set at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre tonight and Saturday with puck drop at 7:05 p.m. or both games. KOOL FM morning hosts Brian Bailey and Robin Farrell will be on hand tonight to give one fan a chance to take home $25,000 during a live edition of their popular “Beat the Bank” contest during the second intermission. Tomorrow night, the Salmon Kings and The Land Conservancy present the second annual Eco Night in an effort to promote ecological awareness.
