A local Cochrane college student is planning a couple of fundraisers leading up to Remembrance Day.

SAIT student Preston Kennerd says he's hosting a movie night in hopes of raising money for veterans.

"We're hosting a movie night at the Cochrane Ranche House theatre on Friday, November 22. The doors will open at 6:00PM and our movie choice, Saving Private Ryan will start at 7:00PM."

"This event is going to be cash only and the theatre can only hold 209 people."

Funds from the poppy boxes set out at Mark's No Frills (where Kennerd works) will also go towards Kennerd's cause.

Kennerd says he's hoping to raise around $2000.
