Nothing says Christmas in Saint John more than random acts of kindess for no particular reason.
That’s why the phenomenon known as Pay It Forward is gathering steam in the Port City.
Founder Michael Whelton is a vice-principal at St. Mac’s and he tells CHSJ News it began as a result of a conversation with a number of teachers at the school he decided to take it further and make it more formalized at their school.
Pay It Forward Saint John is run by a group of 7 individuals including City Councillor and Educator Greg Norton, Ross Jefferson of Destination Saint John and Constable Dan Weber of the City police. Whelton tells us they want to see it expand more next year so Saint John can be a real contributor on World Pay It Forward Day which is April 25th 2013.
