With this new tray made specially for complex hand repairs, patient wait times will decrease, and will prevent patients from having to go to Prince George or Vancouver for surgery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Administrative assistant for the foundation Heather Bellamy says that this is the third year that the smile cookie campaign has donated it\u2019s proceeds to the foundation. Though this year saw a $3,000 increase from last years total.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To cover the rest of the cost, Bellamy says they rely on different grants from across the country, as well as the support of other local organizations like the Terrace Rotary Club, Knights of Columbus, and other private donors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to the CFNR radio story below:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year&#8217;s Tim Horton\u2019s Smile Cookie Campaign is resulting in new surgical equipment for Terrace.\u00a0 Nearly 13,000 cookies (at $1 a cookie) were sold this year between the two Terrace locations.\u00a0 The Dr. R.E.M.
