Project
Publicity
By Damien Barstead
Darci Roy has been manning an
information
booth at several popular
shopping spots around town to publisize
the restoration project
and her tours of the
creek, as well as to raise money for the Society.
In order for any project to succeed, two things are usually needed: publicity, and of
course, money. The Haig-Brown Kingfisher Creek Society is attempting to raise a little of both,
by setting up an information
booth at various locations throughout this week.
Darci Roy, who is currently hosting interpretive tours around the Haig-Brown
Kingfisher Creek Heritage
properties and the new creek channel, has been manning an information booth at different stores
and malls
in the Campbell River area.
Armed with the Project’s information placard, along with a couple of stacks of
brochures, maps, and other project information, Darci has been explaining the project and its
goals to any passers-by who shows a little concern for their urban creeks.

In addition to raising awareness about the restoration project, Darci is also
advertising her tours of the creek, which will end this coming weekend as Darci has to return to
school for the fall season.
As for money, Darci is trying to raise funds for the Society by selling a variety of
multi-coloured, fashionable buttons. For $2.50 you have the option of choosing from several
striking colours of "habitat" buttons, but more importantly, you will be supporting the
rejuvenation of a once terrific salmon stream.
For $2.50 you can own a trendy habitat
button
and support the Haig-Brown
Kingfisher Creek Society.
Darci has appeared in front of Overwaitea Foods in the Ironwood Mall, and in front of
Zellars, all in the downtown area of Campbell River. Although it may be too late to go see Darci,
anyone interested can still purchase a button through the Haig-Brown Kingfisher Creek Society
to help support a fully worthwhile
cause.
