Celebrating Westland
The Westland Foundation celebrated 25 years of inner-city youth achievements with its inaugural Scholars’ Reception on Feb. 13 at the Millennium Library. The event recognized Westland Scholars’ achievements and their contribution to the foundation’s growth. Created in 1993 to help a group of inner-Winnipeg school parent councils and area organizations raise $10,000 to fund summer school recreation play programs, the Westland Foundation is a volunteer-based and non-profit organization dedicated to empowering inner-Winnipeg youth through post-secondary education. The Westland Foundation Education Fund program works to raise sufficient funds to underwrite the first year of post-secondary studies for inner-city Winnipeg students.
