An estimated $100,000 was raised at this year’s Dozer Day and that money will go to the Vancouver Parks Foundation and children’s charitable groups. Grant applications will be accepted until June 15 at http://www.nutterfoundation.org.
The wee ones moved the earth at Dozer Day on Sunday and appeared to dig every minute of it.
Of course the big guys, professionals in the big arena of construction, were at the controls of more than 50 big rigs, but the children were right in the thick of the rousing rumblings.
Now six years old, Dozer Day is so popular that an estimated 20,000 paid to play over the weekend at the 77-acre Cemex-Fisher Quarry at 192nd Avenue and Brady Road.
