Trent Hamilton (right), Canada Safeway manager, recently presented $1,000 in gift cards to the Nutrition on Weekends (NOW) Kenora program co-chair Lloyd Mack. The gift cards were rewarded to Hamilton through a contest for all employees of Sobeys, Safeway, Thrifty’s and Farm Boys called “Words to Live By”. There were 24 selected finalists and then all employees were able to vote on their favourites. Hamilton won the bronze medal and $1,000 in gift cards with the quote: "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.”

The Rotary Club of Kenora and Interact club members entered a float in the Saturday, Nov. 27 Kinsmen Santa Claus parade. The windy weather didn’t deter huge crowds from lining downtown streets to cheer the floats in the annual parade. The wind did pull down the movie screen on the Rotary ‘Winter Glamping’ float but there was no damage done. Thanks to Kenora for again providing the use of their facility for building the float and the flat deck and truck.

Century 21 Northern Choice Realty recently raised $4,000 for the Nutrition on Weekends (NOW) Kenora program facilitated by the Rotary Club of Kenora. The second annual family photos fundraiser with Lynsey Jordanna Photography was a sellout in support of the NOW program which aims to increase food availability and nutrition for those students identified as having insufficient access to healthy foods during weekends and school holidays when school nutrition programs are not available. At present, between 200 and 250 nutrition bags are delivered to local school children weekly.
