Champ will be front and centre, meeting and greeting his community and introducing a new book, Port City Champ, an illustrated children's story about his adventures in the Saint John harbour.Community Day is an opportunity for Port Saint John and its partners to give back to the community through fundraising for PALS (Partners Assisting Local Schools).
