The not-for-profit is fundraising to build a compound to protect its vehicles from thieves
Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Northern B.C. has been the victim of ongoing vandalizations to its program vans and is now looking into solutions to protect its vehicles.
“We're just banging our heads against the wall with it because we get them fixed, we park them and two weeks later, it happens again.” “I feel like it probably is more than likely mostly the same people doing it. They know that the vans are going to be refueled and back in their spots,” said Holmes. She added the not-for-profit does have cameras and security, but nothing seems to matter.
“It's just the cost is a huge thing, being a not-for-profit, we just don't have thousands and thousands of dollars to put toward building this compound,” said Holmes.
