Canstruction underway in Kelowna

KELOWNA–There are some amazing sculptures on display at Kelowna’s Orchard Park Mall this week.

For the sixth year, local teams have come together for a friendly competition that involves a lot of creativity and thousands of cans of food.

Between now and Wednesday night, teams will transform 21-thousand dollars worth of donated canned food into sculptures with an Okanagan theme.

Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens.

Works from past years have proven impressive and just like in other years you will have the opportunity to vote for your favourite.

The People’s Choice Award is one of the prizes teams are competing for, but with all of the food ultimately donated to the Kelowna Community Food Bank and the Salvation Army the real winners are people in need.

Canstruction was an idea that began in New York in 1992.

It has since expanded to benefit local food banks in more than 150 cities all over the world.

In addition to viewing all of the sculptures, you can make a cash or food donation at Orchard Park Mall during Canstruction.
