Local businesses and individuals who step forward to support the Thomas Kelly search will be recognized across Skeena News platforms throughout October.
SKEENA REGION – As the dedicated volunteer team prepares for a critical final series of river searches for Thomas Kelly this October, Skeena News is committing its platform to amplify the efforts and recognize the generosity of local supporters.
The time-critical nature of the search—the last major effort before winter conditions halt operations until next summer—requires significant community resources, particularly fundraising for specialized K9 and boat teams.
Skeena News is committed to providing visibility for the businesses and individuals who step forward to support this vital humanitarian cause.
Special Recognition Program – October
Throughout the month of October, Skeena News will be offering special recognition to individuals and businesses that contribute to the ongoing search and logistics for Thomas Kelly:
- Social Media Spotlight: Names or business logos of supporters will be prominently displayed on our Facebook cover photo during the month of October.
- Weekly Video Feature: Supporters will also be recognized in our weekly Skeena News videos all month long, ensuring wide community appreciation for their commitment.
This recognition program is designed to leverage our platform, ensuring the wider community sees and appreciates the individuals and businesses who are helping make this final, critical search possible.
How to Ensure Recognition:
Supporter details will be gathered and provided to us directly by search coordinator Jahaziel Trudell and sent to editor@telanganapress.com, ensuring no contributor is missed.
We encourage all community members across the Skeena Region — from Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert, Hazelton, Smithers, and beyond — to support in whatever way they can. Whether through donations, resources, or simply helping to spread awareness, every contribution brings the search one step closer to providing answers for Thomas Kelly’s family.
Together, we can ensure this final search effort has every chance of success — and show the Sampson-Kelly family that the entire region stands with them.
