Hitting the links for SMD

The La Salle Insurance and Travel Ltd. charity golf tournament was held June 28 at Kingswood Golf & Country Club to raise funds for the Society for Manitobans with Disabilities. More than 130 golfers turned out to help raise more than $47,000 for SMD’s Assistive Technology Program.

The program provides financial support to children, youth and adults with disabilities, and helps them gain access to adaptive aids and devices to improve their daily lives.

As part of the event’s putting contest, SMD offered individuals the opportunity to putt with one hand tied behind their back or wearing glasses they couldn’t properly see through to simulate how someone with a disability would participate in the sport. For more information, visit smd.mb.ca.

The art of good food

NorWest Co-op Community Food Centre held its fourth annual Art of Good Food fundraiser on May 16 at the Manitoba Museum. Hosted by BMO Bank of Montreal, the evening featured 11 Winnipeg chefs and six local artists who came together to create food tastings and live art in support of healthy food programs in the North End’s Inkster neighbourhood.

The event raised almost $40,000, which will directly support the needs of low-income community members through healthy food access, food skills and education and engagement opportunities. For more information, visit norwestcoop.ca/community-food-centre.
