The Aluminum City Telethon was started in 1980. The Kitimat Sports Association was approached by the board of directers of the Child Development Centre, and asked for their assistance in raising funds. The idea of a Telethon was agreed on and a committee was formed.
Each year the Telethon executive receives requests from the different non-profit organizations within our own community. They then decide on how to disburse the funds raised that year. After the letters of requests are reviewed and a brief presentation is made to the board of directors explaining how the money received will be spent.

Photograph of two young girls wearing matching outfits, with the same hair cut, sitting together and smiling for the photo. They look as though they are twin sisters. There is a sign being held around the girls that reads "Europa" on the top and, " Bremen" on the bottom. And the sign is shaped and made to look like a lifebuoy. In the background of this photograph they are some chairs laid out for people to sit in, a hand holding the sign, a man standing, and what looks like a powerline.
