Although the bank no longer has a branch in Kamsack, Boychuk said that it had a branch in the community for many years and still has customers in the area. Making the donation is a way to be able to give back to the community, he said as he presented the cheque to Mayor Rod Gardner, who is the fundraising chair for the medical centre.
