“We are so pleased they decided to help those we serve. A lot of times kids don’t get enough credit but this group of students certainly deserves some praise.
All students stayed behind to help check expiry dates, sort and the shelving units. They were fantastic! We are very, very pleased.” you should take the time to walk, and you don’t have to travel too far.
Elementary school staff member/Harvest volunteer Yvonne Crouch initiated a similar campaign in her school. That threeweek effort simply encouraged students to leave product in the canoe; 87 pounds of food was collected from the younger group on Thursday, March 22.
“I heard the idea at a meeting in Brandon. St. Augustine School had tried Fill a Canoe in conjunction with the 10-day Festival du Voyaguer in Winnipeg in February. It was very successful and whenever I hear food bank, my ears always perk up!”
She then brought the suggestion to Riverdale Harvest, which supported the idea and asked her to present the promo -
Prairie Grass Trail in Rivers Provincial Park. Check out this 2.6-km loop trail near Rivers, Manitoba. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 37 min to complete. This trail is great for hiking, snowshoeing, and running, and it’s unlikely you’ll encounter many other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime.
