Winter’s Eve – a New Year’s celebration with Ron Paley


Winnipeg’s RBC Convention Centre hosts a cherished New Year’s event N


ew Year’s Eve at the RBC Convention Centre has been a longstanding tradition for many Winnipeggers who look forward to dressing


up, relaxing and dancing the night away after the hus- tle and bustle of the busy festive season. Over the years, the events have taken guests on jour-


neys around the world, to experience interesting coun- tries and cities such as Mexico, Las Vegas, Cuba and New York; in other years they’ve celebrated musical eras such as the As the convention centre has expanded so have the elaborate themes. This year, guests will be treated to an elegant evening in the third floor City View Room, with its floor-to-ceiling windows and beautiful iconic


ceiling, is transformed into a festive wonderland with a little winter carnival flare in support of their charity partner, Siloam Mission. Guests enjoy a five-course gourmet feast with a pre-


dinner reception featuring entertainment and music to warm up Winnipeg largest dance floor. Then to cap off the evening and get the party started, the ever popular Ron Paley and his 21-piece band takes the stage with some of Winnipeg’s most notable per- formers who play classic dance tunes and top 40 hits until 2 a.m. “Ron Paley is a New Year’s Eve tradition that has


remained constant year after year,” says David Chiz- da, the convention centre’s director of sales and busi-


ness development. “Our guests fill the dance floor all evening – right up to when Ron does his traditional countdown to midnight.” For music lovers, dancers and those who want to celebrate another great year and toast in a new one, the RBC Convention Centre is the place to be.


‘Tis the season for children and for giving back A


s the holiday season fast ap- proaches stop for one minute and think…what about the sick


and injured children in the Children’s Hospital? Just before Christmas last year, Ash-


ton and Jordan Kehler received a great gift. After a life-saving delivery, their baby girl, Lily, was born. Seven days later they received another blessing when she finally took her first breath on her own, surrounded by the doctors and nurses who saved her life. An early ultrasound revealed a small mass on Lily’s neck. It grew into the size of a large apple and started to crush her airway. Doctors knew she wouldn’t


Tuning in to fight hunger D

ecember 2017 puts a bow on Winnipeg Har- vest’s 32nd calendar year in operation. It also marks the seventh year CJNU 93.7 FM has


set up shop at 1085 Winnipeg Avenue, lending their voices and melodies to help the volunteers and staff “Fight Hunger and Feed Hope.” Through a network of more than than 400 food dis- tribution agencies in Winnipeg and rural areas, Win- nipeg Harvest shares emergency and supplementary food with nearly 64,000 people each month. Feeding that number of families takes more than food—it takes a tremendous effort, a dedicated volunteer team, and a caring and committed community of supporters. “Each year we look forward to having CJNU join


us on site in December,” says Kate Brenner, executive director of Winnipeg Harvest. “They’re a wonderful


voice for the community and for many charitable or- ganizations in our city. A great deal of thought and care goes into choosing music you just don’t hear any- where else, and so often, it’s music that shares a story. Connecting our message of hope and sharing unique stories of the people we see every day with that story-


be able to breathe on her own. More than 15 doctors, nurses and medical professionals helped to deliver Lily by a highly specialized surgical delivery pro- cedure. Baby Lily’s arms and head were de-


livered first. Then doctors worked carefully to clear her airway and se- cure a breathing tube in order to let her breathe. And seven days later, they operated on her to remove the mass al- lowing her to breathe on her own. Ashton has great memories of how


the staff helped to make the holiday time special: “At Christmas, they gave us a plaque with Lily’s footprint and a poem. And


in February they gave us a Valentine’s card from her. Little things that make the holidays just a bit easier.” Help us create more happy memories


for parents like Ashton and Jordan. We urgently need your help to pur- chase specialized surgical equipment to perform complicated ear and airway surgery for children like Lily. As Lily’s mom says, “We don’t know if Lily would be here if we didn’t have these amazing people and this equip- ment. The money that supporters do- nated bought the equipment that saved our daughter’s life.” Donate today at www.goodbear.ca or call 204-787-4400.


telling is something that people really seem to respond to.”


Last year, Winnipeg Harvest distributed more than


12 million pounds (5.5 million kilograms) of food, but feeding families is not all we do. Training programs for volunteers and clients give valuable work experience to help them find employment and a hand up and out of poverty.


CJNU is dedicated to keeping our community con- nected. For good. Forever. Winnipeg Harvest believes strongly that this is a key component of a healthy, in- volved caring community. CJNU’s “Season of Giving Back” does just that. “Our vision is a province where no one goes hungry,”


says Brenner. “This very ambitious goal is our hope for the future and we are committed to do whatever we can to accomplish it. For right now and through the holiday season, we remind everyone to help out by making a donation of food, time, or money. Remem- ber—hunger doesn’t take a holiday.
