Kamloops, BC – CanadaOne Auto (COA), Kamloops Honda, and the Priestner Family are proud to announce a $100,000 donation to the Royal Inland Hospital (RIH) Foundation in support of the Parkview Program, which provides vital mental health services to youth in Kamloops and surrounding communities.
“Supporting youth mental health is one of the most important investments we can make,” said Mr. Priestner. “The world our young people are growing up in today is increasingly complex, and it’s essential they have access to the resources and care they need to thrive. We believe it takes a village to raise a child, and we are proud to be part of that village here in Kamloops.”
Kamloops Honda, now celebrating its 30th anniversary as a proud part of the Kamloops community, is honoured to partner with the RIH Foundation. The Parkview Program’s work aligns closely with the Priestner Family’s ongoing focus on youth mental health, providing critical support not only to young people, but also to the families navigating these challenges alongside them.
“The contribution from Honda towards a Rural Clinician position will enable the Parkview Program to deliver timely service to children and youth residing throughout the Thompson Cariboo Shuswap region, as well as to partner with community resources ensure collaborative services for children.” – Dr. Raj Chahal, Parkview Team Leader
“Our hospitals are the heart of our communities,” added Troy Collinge, Dealer Partner at Kamloops Honda. “Every family relies on the strength and capacity of our local healthcare system, and we’re committed to doing our part to ensure programs like Parkview continue to thrive.”
This contribution is part of CanadaOne’s broader Dealership Giving Program, a commitment by CanadaOne Founder and CEO, Mr. Patrick Priestner, and his family to give back to the communities where their dealerships operate.
