In our last issue, we published the story about a local resident who was involved in a hit and run accident in Colonnade Mall on February 6. The man involved, Jim Anderson, is an employee with Canadian Tire Kemptville who was on his lunch break when he was hit. After being taken to hospital, Jim underwent hip replacement surgery and he remains in the Ottawa General Hospital recovering from the accident and operation.
As a seasonal worker, Jim’s friends are concerned about the loss of wages involved in his stay in hospital and the time he’ll need to recuperate once he’s released, so they have organised a “Slush Bucket Challenge”.
Jim has not lost his sense of humour, so this challenge is very appropriate. All three volunteers have worked closely with Jim for years and all have stated they would do anything for Jim.
