People around Chilliwack were busy making and selling sugary goodies this week as part of a sweet fundraiser for the local SPCA.

Yesterday (Sunday) wrapped up Treat Week, a provincewide fundraiser for the B.C. SPCA which ran Feb. 24 to March 1.

Here in Chilliwack, staff and volunteers with the local SPCA made a plethora of sweets that were for sale by donation at the branch on Saturday. A total of $807.35 came in from Saturday’s sale at the branch.

In addition, several Chilliwack businesses, animal hospitals and individuals held their own treat fundraisers throughout the week with money going to the Chilliwack SPCA.

Sardis Animal Hospital alone raised $1,520.
