The Poppy Campaign


worn from the last Friday in October until the end of the day on Nov. 11. Lt-Colonel John McCrae is the person who was


T


responsible more than any other for the adoption of the Poppy in Canada. With his poem, In Flan- ders Field, his words immortalized the thoughts of our soldiers and became the symbol of Remem- brance for those who died. The Poppies that you see today were first made in 1922 by disabled veterans under the protection of the Department of Soldiers Civil Re-establish- ment. This process continued under the guide of Veterans Affairs Canada until 1996 when it be- came no longer viable to maintain this operation. Dominion Command of the Royal Canadian Le- gion volunteered and was awarded the production contract as it remains today. All funds raised through our Poppy Campaign support our veterans and serving military mem- bers and their families. These funds, which are public funds, are disbursed under strict guidelines to ensure they are used in the correct manner. When approved, funds may be used for housing and care facilities for elderly and disabled veterans, senior services such as meals on wheels and senior drop in centres. Funds are also used for bursaries for the children, grandchildren and great grand- children of veterans, as well as supporting cadet programs. If you know of someone who may re- quire a bursary, please refer them to our website at http://mbnwo.ca/youth.htm Last year the Veterans Transition Network was


the recipient of a $90,000 grant. The VTN, pro- vides specialised counselling to help veterans deal with issues such as PTSD and transition them back into civilian life. This program is life chang- ing for our veterans and we would not be able to assist without the generosity of the public in Man- itoba and Northwestern Ontario. PTSD is an in- visible wound, affecting an estimated 10 per cent of veterans, making it a frustrating reality for both the affected military personnel and their families. This mental health condition may be described as a psychological response to an intense traumatic experience. Command Poppy Funds have also been used to support national projects such as $500,000 being donated to the Royal Ottawa Hospital Founda- tion Fund to obtain PET-MRI technology. This foundation is partnered with the Canadian Armed Forces and is the only hospital in Canada that op- erates an operational stress injury clinic special- izing in outpatient programs serving our CAF veterans. Nationally the Poppy Funds are assisting the Invictus Games, which were recently held in To- ronto. The games provided an excellent forum for our ill and injured veteran athletes to inspire their recovery and support rehabilitation among their peers.

CJNU Fundraiser success! F


Adam Glynn


rom October 26th- 29th, CJNU held its Fourth Annual Pledge


Weekend – a celebration of everything the radio station is, does, and can be – and the one time during the year when the phone lines are thrown open, and the community is asked to give back to ‘the little station that could’. CJNU is still on the air largely thanks to direct listener support – and that support has been truly overwhelming. Fifty-seven hours of special programming later, and we’ve smashed through our fundraising target of $40,000 – currently sitting at $44,237 and rising. We couldn’t be more grateful for the vote of con- fidence we’ve been given by our listeners. As you likely already know, CJNU 93.7FM is Winnipeg’s only English language community radio station. A not-for- profit cooperative – founded by a group of retired radio pro- fessionals in 2006, and with roots stretching back to 1995 – Nostalgia Radio has been broadcasting consistently for 11 years and counting, delivering ‘the music and the message’. But what does that mean?


It means that a team of over 100 volunteers – from the The CJNU team taking a moment to toast their success.


board of directors, to the voices you hear on the air – work hard to produce 16 hours of locally originated programming every day! Programming which fea- tures the smoothest nostal- gic music recorded over the last century, and informa- tion on the many charities, not-for-profit organisations and community groups in Winnipeg that may other- wise get little or no media coverage.


CJNU has always worked hard to ‘accentuate the posi- tive’, by being a distinct and different voice and sound at the heart of the Winnipeg community, with intergenerational programming that targets the “generally underserved 50 plus population”. That line is written into our licence from the CRTC! It’s a radio station which is run very differently to the others on the dial – powered almost entirely by those volun- teers, and running limited advertising for local businesses. On behalf of everyone at CJNU, thank you for sustaining


YOUR radio station. If you still wish to make a contribu- tion, we will continue to accept donations via our website at CJNU.ca. You can also become a member of our co-op, and take ownership in CJNU!

Family Dynamics – strengthening families and communities for 80 years


Holly Puckall and Millie Braun


innipeg in the 1930s: The stock market crashed at the end of 1929, the price of wheat fell to below the cost of seed and the Great Depression smothered the Prairies with poverty and unem- ployment. On top of that, 1930 was the start of a ten year drought and dust storms. Many were forced to move from farms to the cities to search for new jobs. In 1932, the unemployment rate in Winnipeg was the second high- est in Canada. In 1934, the Junior League initi- ated a study of the social service needs in Winnipeg. Not surprisingly,


W this


study discovered that families were under great stress and that an agency was needed to focus on the needs of the “family” as the most basic unit of our society. The agency’s founders re- alized that our community would only be strong, if families were strong and healthy.


On Oct. 1, 1936, the Family Bu-


reau Counselling Service was estab- lished and housed within the Com- munity Chest (now the United Way)

with funding provided by the Junior League, the Winnipeg Foundation and the Community Chest. The first ser- vice offered was counselling followed by 20 housekeepers from the Chil- dren’s Bureau who joined the Family Bureau. The Family Bureau saw its job as


strengthening community ties through quality work with families to improve their well-being. The original con- stitution stated that as long as family life was of importance to society, the agency would have an important role to play. With the name changed to Family


Dynamics, the purpose has held firm through the decades. Gordon Neufeld, in “Hold On To


Your Kids” 2013, talks about current trends in our society that threaten our most important needs for connection, safety, trust, and belonging. We have become fast paced, consumer driven and technology oriented. People are separated emotionally and geographi- cally from extended relatives and don’t know their neighbours. People have increasingly less time and energy for children. Neufeld states, we must an- swer to this “wake up call”.


At Family Dynamics, we are answer- ing this call and are truly wide awake. Our current programs include In- Home Family Support, Parent Coach- ing, Counselling, support for children with social and emotional challenges; supports for refugees with barriers to


integration, settlement support


for newcomers, training supports for Family Child Care Providers, commu- nity resource centres in six subsidized housing communities, and commu- nity development around Winnipeg schools.


Every day, we are in family homes helping parents to discover new con- fidence and strengthen their skills, in our counselling offices – helping peo- ple to find new paths for healthier rela- tionships, building community in our family resource centres, helping new- comers to navigate their way through systems, supporting children and staff in child care programs, developing skills of new providers, and building communities that strengthen ties be- tween families and schools.
