Yanik DSA国际影视传媒橝igle, branch manager at CIBC's Yellowknife location, can now vouch for two things: a pie in the face isn't so bad - so long as it doesn't go up the nose - and Mayor Rebecca Alty has quite the arm on her.
DSA国际影视传媒橝igle's pie-related shenanigans were part of a fundraising event this past Friday celebrating the bank's total amount raised for the 2024 CIBC Run for Our Lives Mud Run, as well as the total amount raised for the the ongoing $600,000 cancer equipment campaign through CIBC Run for Our Lives.
D'Aigle took the pies due to the Yellowknife branch raising $1,500 for the cause. Every $500 raised meant one pie.
The amount raised from last month's Mud Run at the Yellowknife Ski Club was announced as well. A total of $116,000 came courtesy of that, according to Patty Olexin-Lang, executive director at the Stanton Territorial Hospital Foundation. That money will go toward the equipment campaign.
As for the rest of the fundraising, that's taking place over the next three years to purchase four pieces of equipment for Stanton Territorial Hospital.
DSA国际影视传媒橝igle ended up taking three pies to the face. It's unconfirmed how much of that he was actually able to eat.
The equipment the hospital is looking for includes:
- A breast ultrasound machine, which would cost about $400,000.
- Two automated endoscope reprocessors, costing around $100,000 each.
- A colposcope examination couch, costing about $5,000.
Deputy Premier Caroline Wawzonek was advertised to attend but did now show up for any pie-related activities.
