• A real prize winner

  I went to a warehouse several blocks east of Health Sciences Centre to pick up a prize I won in a lottery.
  It turned out to be large and fairly heavy, and I mentioned that I would have to call a taxi go get to a Portage Avenue bus stop.
  There were several other winners behind me. One kind gentleman spoke up and offered me a ride to Portage Avenue. Then, to ensure my safety at a bus stop, he drove me to Polo Park.
  His name is Guy Lansard, owner of Lance Roofing Ltd.
  Thanks again, Guy!
