Insurer Aviva Canada has announced the semi-finalists in its 2012 Aviva Community Fund initiative.
The competition offers $1,000,000 in donations for community initiatives across the country. Canadians have been sbumitting and voting on their favourite ideas for 10 weeks.
Background: Aviva Community Fund competition opens for fourth year

Starting Dec. 3, voters are encouraged to visit to support their favourite semi-finalist ideas until Dec. 12. Finalists and winners will be announced Dec. 17 and Jan. 29, 2013, respectively.
