Theodore's Fundraising Journey to Montreal and Ottawa in Spring 2026

Hey! I’m Theodore, and I've got this awesome chance to go on a 6-day STEM Discovery trip to Montreal and Ottawa next spring, in 2026. This trip is going to be super cool, packed with all sorts of science stuff that I love, like tech and exploring new things. I’m working really hard to raise the money I need to make this dream come true!

The Trip Highlights

So, what’s on the agenda for this trip? A whole lot of fun learning! We’re going to check out places like:

• Montreal Planetarium: We’re going to see shows that make you feel like you’re flying through space and play with exhibits that show how the universe works.
• Archaeology Museum: I’ll get to learn about old civilizations and find out cool stuff about what life was like long ago right under our feet.
• Canada Science and Technology Museum: This place is all about inventions and experiments that helped make Canada what it is today. I can’t wait to see all the cool gadgets and science in action!
• Musée de l’Ingéniosité J. Armand Bombardier: It’s a place that celebrates all the smart ideas people have had in Canada, especially in how we get around from place to place.

We’ll also go on a ghost tour to hear spooky stories, tour the Parliament to see where Canada’s laws are made, and check out where the Prime Minister lives!

My Fundraising Efforts

To make this trip possible, I’ve been super busy:

• Online Sales and Markets: As always my ecofriendly firestarters, my aurora infernos and pocket sized fire bellows are a great way to support me. All the money earned from my business goes right back to me and I can use it toward my trip.
• Shoveling Snow: If your driveway or walkway is buried under snow, I’m your guy. Just call me, and I’ll clear it up in no time.
• Light Gardening: Got some plants that need caring or weeds that need pulling? I can totally help with that.
• Pet Cleanup: I’m also offering to clean up after pets, so no more worrying about a messy yard.
• Collecting Cans and Bottles: Recycling’s not just good for the Earth—it helps me save up for my trip, too!

Every dollar I make is going straight to my trip expenses. I’m really putting in the effort because I’m so excited about this trip.

How You Can Help

If you think you can help out, here’s what you can do:

• Purchase Products: You could check out what I’m selling online or come see me at a market.
• Hire Me: For any jobs like shoveling snow or helping in the garden, just give me a shout.
• Donate Cans and Bottles: If you’ve got cans and bottles you don’t need, I’d be happy to take them off your hands.
• Other Contributions: Got any other ideas on how you might help? I’d love to hear them!
• Perogies and Sausage: Through my school I am selling Perogies and Sausage where I will earn $9 for each box that goes directly toward my balance for the trip. If you're local, within Lethbridge and immediate surrounding area, you can support me and get some tasty food. (to be delivered in March, 2025)
