To date we have supplied thirty-one cruisers, in Sidney, Central Saanich and part of Victoria, six to the emergency ward of our hospital and a few larger quilts for cribs to Children's Hospital in Victoria. Three have been used to date. The comments from the Officers involved gave us deep satisfaction knowing we have been able to help comfort a small unfortunate unfortunate child in distress. The child can keep the Kuilt to take home. By the way, we call our project "Kuddle Kuilts For Kids". Now that we have all cruisers etc., filled and replacements on hand, we arc making larger ones called Lap Robes, for Seniors confined to wheelchairs wheelchairs in three Rest Homes in Sidney.
