A Âé¶čAV florist has donated hundreds of smiling mugs, filled with flowers to non-profit organizations across the city.
Burnetts Florist has doled out 370 mugs in celebration of Telefloraâs Make Someone Smile Week, from July 21 to 27.
âThe whole thing is bringing the community together and giving people something that doesnât always get anything,â said Natalie Tocker, owner of Burnetts Florist.
Tocker asked the community what charities Burnetts should focus on delivering the flowers to and the answer was Starbright Children Development, Mama to Mama, Lake Country CONNECT, Bayshore Home Health, Village at Smith Creek, BC CancerâÂé¶čAV and Fernbrae Manor.
