February 22nd, 2012We wanted to share this commercial with you. We really didn’t think people would notice, but people are talking about it. Even the Purolator guy mentioned it. We think it’s awesome, and we’re so happy that Vancity asked us to be part of their latest commercial.
Without the help of Vancity, Dandelion KIDS might not have existed. So thanks Vancity for being the best financial institution, and for believing in us 8 years ago!
