COVID-19 concerns are leading a school to cancel their fundraiser, but instead of the food going to waste, it is being donating to a local organization.

Tonight's Calvin Christian fundraiser at the RBC Convention Centre is cancelled due to concerns over COVID-19. The decision was made after the school's board re-evaluated "the wisdom of proceeding" with their fundraiser.

Siloam Mission will be receiving the food meant for tonight's Calvin Christian's banquet.

Principal John Sawatzky says they are "thankful for (the convention centre's) generosity" in a statement. "The ongoing health and safety of our students and staff is of paramount importance."

The school says they are still taking donations online or at the school.
