When Bob Jadis left his hometown in Nova Scotia as a youth, his father said to him, “Son, if nothing else, I want you to remember to always put back more into the community than you take out.” Those parting words etched themselves onto Bob’s heart.

The tradition continues! Back in 1991, local realtor Lesley Hames started the Annual Ocean Park Food Drive after learning that our White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank had been broken into. That year, the Peace Arch News reported that the drive collected $100 and 40 cartons of food.
