We’re ready for our Small is Mighty Month of May! 

Dear BC Hydro and Power Pioneers Small is Mighty Campaign Volunteers: 

Our BC Children’s Hospital (BCCH) Small is Mighty (SIM) campaign is here. We’ve spoken with you and/or sent you an email letting you know about our campaign this year, and we are now ready to roll it out.

We can start getting ready for the campaign by showing off some of the latest Small is Mighty collection at the Power Pioneers Gear Store:

• New this year are BCCH Pet Therapy colouring books along with other items in recognition of the program we are continuing to sponsor, visit our Gear Store here Power Pioneers Gear Store

• Small is Mighty Teddy Bears with their very own ’Small is Mighty’ t-shirt are back, along with adult-sized T-shirts offered free to our Hydro and Power Pioneers SIM volunteers.  It’s our way of saying thank you for your time campaigning for this great cause. Click here to order.
