First and formost, a HUGE thank you to all our builders, volunteers, vendors, and businesses around Campbell River who donated their time, products and made this event so successful!

We held the build at our building this year and it went fantastically! We built 3 structures over the weekend;
 

A beautiful 2 story playhouse, complete with twirly slide, secret antrance, sand box and a small storage space underneath for mom and dad!


Thank you: " Don't poke the Shawmen" Shaw.

The sheds are an ongoing project, and all are to be finished by June 28th. We will post photos on their progress!

There was also one last team that was unable to make the Handyman kick off weekend, but will be here this coming weekend, and over the next month building us a very exciting project!

Keep checking in with the blog to find out what that is!!!

Here are a few images from all the fun had this weekend. Again, thank you so much to everyone who came out and helped out or supported us, with out you we wouldn't be able to do it!

Day one of the Handyman Challenge is finished! What an amazing set f teams we have this year! We have one team, "Ouch my finger", who are creating us a sloped roofed shed, complete with window and door! Then "The Royal Shed Heads" are once again creating their signature greenhouse shed combo ( this one has had ALOT of interest already! Then there is "go Shaw. They are creating what can only be described as the most awesome playhouse ever! SO far I've seen the huge sandbox space underneath, and a big industrial yellow curly slide, and im told there are more surprises to come today!




Don't forget to pop on by, we have a mini market out back in our garden as well! We will have the gate open on 9th, so you can just walk in from the street, there is an awesome selection, as well as some yummy, yummy treats available!!!!! As well as this, there is a big silent auction table, come and put your name down, don't forget, its for a good cause!

We cant begin to thank everyone who helps us out here at the CR Head Injury. We couldn't do half of the things without all of our fantastic volunteers and sponsors! We have our 7th Handyman Challenge coming up tomorrow, this is our yearly big fundraiser, and every year the whole community pulls together and helps us out one way or another! Weather its volunteering their time, a prize for a silent auction or their time to build a shed, what a great community we live in!




So thank you Campbell River and all you Campbell Riverites! You are what makes this city so fantastic!



We cant wait to see you all out at our Handyman Challenge this year, which is again at our building on the corner of 9th and Dogwood. We have 3 Teams building on premise this year and 1 team who is coming in afterwards and building over the month of June with a very special build! Our mini market this year has turned out to be not so mini! Check out our event on facebook to see a full list of all the vendors attending, there will be 14 on Saturday and 12 on Sunday!

Welcome to our new website and blog! Blogging is new to me (us) so bear with me (us)! We are so happy that summer is finally approaching! We have been busy little bee's out in the garden, preparing the beds, weeding ( which is quite the undertaking) ( we are novice gardeners!) and of course planting! It has been a fun adventure both creating and keeping up with the garden. What a great resource for our members. It is already being used as a therapy garden, with certain members coming in almost daily to access it, use it to create better moods or take out frustrations! Mind you, we have been doing a bit of both of it ourselves!




We also have our Handyman Challenge coming up, May 24th and 25th this year. For those who don't know, Handyman Challenge is our big yearly fundraiser. Most of our programming is funded by fundraisers and generous donations and Handyman is our main one! Please see the Handyman section for more detail. This year we are holding the build at our premise on the corner of 9th and Dogwood. Our mini market has already filled up and the projects this year are fantastic! make sure to stop by and see the progress! It also gives you a chance to hoke around our building and check it out!
