From providing therapy dogs that ease the stress of travellers and visitors in this re- gion to providing new routes to exciting destinations, it’s all about you! Tis also drives us to be an active part of our community. It’s a commitment that our entire team lives day in and day out. Here’s a look at a few of the major events we’re involved in this fall! Winnipeg Harvest: Harvest Garden WAA is a longtime supporter of Win- nipeg Harvest, a local organization that provides food to those who struggle to feed themselves and their families. Tis summer will mark our 21st year partici- pating in Winnipeg Harvest’s Grow-A- Row, an initiative that has participants use their green thumb for the greater good. We have a beautiful garden on our campus that will produce vegetables to be donated to Winnipeg Harvest this fall!
