LEARN ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY CHANGE MAKERS
Joseph Aiello
Joe is someone who makes Winnipeg and Manitoba a great place to call home. He has been a passionate supporter to many charities and uses his voice and platform to encourage others to follow his lead. He asks for no reward or acknowledgement as he endorses and positively impacts the health and well being of Manitobans.
Joe has been a steadfast contributor to and advocate for the work of St Boniface Hospital Foundation, Grace Hospital Foundation, and the HSC Foundation. He is an ambassador and uses his on air and social media influence to support Manitoba hospitals. In addition, he organizes and arranges golf tournaments, bocce ball tournaments, and trivia nights to raise money for cancer care charities
Murray Morien
Murray's journey began in 2005 when he was struck by the amount of litter plaguing his community. Instead of waiting for someone else to take action, Murray took matters into his own hands. Since then, he has dedicated countless hours (and I mean countless, he's out in the community almost every day) to cleaning up not only his own neighborhood but numerous areas throughout the city.
Murray's impact is evident in the many streets, parks, and trails he has cleaned. Murray's dedication goes beyond simply picking up trash. He meticulously separates recyclables, ensuring that they are properly processed. He also collaborates with local organizations, such as the City's naturalist office, to repurpose organic waste into mulch for the community and helps organize community group cleanup events such as the annual Harte Trail Spring clean up on International Trails day.Murray's commitment to the environment is truly inspiring. Murray is a true example of how one person canake a difference.
Robert McNaughton
Through Bob's tireless dedication for the past almost five decades of either assisting, coordinating, initiating or leading a program and/or group of volunteers , his efforts have helped to enrich the lives of hundreds of children and youths throughout Winnipeg and the Province. These efforts provided countless children and youth to be able to participate in a sport, learn about computers, have a decent meal, enjoy participating in a safe after-school activity, or just have a warm coat to wear during a cold winter day
Ian Heather
During the 50 years that Ian lived in Westwood, he was dedicated to community service. Ian coached sports year round (hockey, football, baseball, soccer) both of his own boys and others in the community. He felt so strongly about community involvement that he held various positions on the KW Community Club board, and was a driving force in fundraising, and in the planning, funding and realization of the Keith Bodley Arena.
Ian & his wife Margaret also started the KW Skills Camp hockey camp, run by volunteers to get kids back on the ice, with a goal to donate the yearly profits to the community centre to help pay down the mortgage on the arena.
Ian also dedicated his life to officiating sports, specifically hockey, and with his background in education, spent many years as a officials instructor, mentor and ultimately referee in chief at various levels.He was inducted in the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame in 2013 for his role as a builder.
Dana Binder
As a teacher in our school system, Dana is dedicated to educating and supporting our young people anyway she can. Early in her career Dana noticed that there was a service available for graduates who required a dress at no charge to wear for graduation but nothing if the student needed a suit or tuxedo.
With this need in mind Dana created Suit Up Winnipeg and began accepting donations of gently used formal wear, recruited volunteers and promoted this new service among her fellow educators. Over 1000 students who otherwise wouldn't have access to formal wear have been "suited up" for graduation.
Dana recognized early in her career that all deserve to feel special and confident and by creating and sustaining Suit Up Winnipeg she has certainly helped many young people in our community.
Faith Fundal
For the past three years, Faith has served as the emcee for the annual Christmas Fundraiser in support of Our Own Health Centre, a non-profit 2SLGBTTQ+ medical organization. Through their dedicated involvement, Faith has been instrumental in raising over $100,000 for essential programs, including the recent ROAR (Rainbow Outpatient Addictions Recovery) meth program at Our Own Health Centre.
Benefit to community: Faith Fundal has been an instrumental figure in positively impacting various communities, with a notable focus on the 2SLGBTTQ+ community. Their tireless efforts and unwavering commitment have played a pivotal role in raising over $100,000 for Our Own Health Centre, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing essential medical services tailored to the needs of the 2SLGBTTQ+ community. This remarkable achievement was accomplished over a span of three years, reflecting Faith Fundal's enduring dedication and profound impact.
