Ten-year-old Jaiden works hard at his TIMES paper route every week, and he usually gets some assistance from his seven-year-old sister Kailey.
However, last month Jaiden had a special flyer delivery to complete and Kailey wasn’t sure if she wanted to go with him.
She’s glad she did, because the young Pitt Meadows residents won a Nintendo Wii game console from the TIMES after Jaiden’s name was drawn out of a hat.
“As soon as we found out [we won], we pretty much came to the office right away,” said their father Jonathon.
He said his two children have been enjoying their so-called Christmas gift ever since, mostly playing Wii Sports and Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.
“They told all their friends at school about it,” said Jonathan.
Jaiden is still delivering papers on his route, and has even started his own bank account.
“He really takes pride in what he’s doing,” said his dad. “Although I try to remind him that you don’t get to win a big prize every time, but just to do a good job.”
