The University of Winnipeg Foundation hosted the 11th annual Duff Roblin Award Dinner on Oct. 26 at the Fort Garry Hotel. Established by the University of Winnipeg and its foundation in 2007, the Duff Roblin Award recognizes outstanding Manitobans who, like inaugural recipient, the honourable Duff Roblin, are patrons of education and have demonstrated exemplary citizenship and lifelong commitment to their communities. This year’s award recipient was recipient Bob Kozminski, prominent businessman and vice-chair of the University of Winnipeg Foundation’s board of directors.

Upgrades at North Kildonan United
North Kildonan United Church unveiled its newly-renovated handicapped-accessible entry and automatic lift and its enhanced office and washroom facilities on Oct. 1. The $478,000 project was started this spring, following a year of planning and fundraising. Funding for the project was provided by the three levels of government, and donations were received from private foundations and individuals in addition to those of the congregation. The ribbon-cutting ceremony and unveiling were highlights of the church’s Canada 150 event, A Celebration of Community. In addition to worship services and other events for the congregation, the church plays host to community groups involved with self-help and addiction recovery as well as a fitness program.
