Introduction
We began building the Circle of Life Endowment Fund in partnership with the Winnipeg Foundation in 2011 with a mission of improving lifelong outcomes for children and the quality of life for the elderly. Our goal was to focus on projects that demonstrate innovation, empathy, advocacy and have a foundation in research. The first project we helped fund in 2018, was the Grandma and Grandpa Swim Program resulting from an application passed along to us by Cathy Auld of the Foundation. Our second project begun in 2021 was through Barry’s investigation of potential areas of need for support of the elderly.
