Fare for Friends was held on Sunday September 18 at the Vimy Officers’ Mess. The event was a great success, raising $72,000. This amount, along with early donations helped bring the first week total to $538,418. This makes up 16% of the total goal of $3,451,000.
“We have had a great start to the 2016 campaign,” says Campaign Chair, Brig-General Stephen Kelsey. “Thank you to all of you for supporting people in our community through the United Way. With this early support and the enthusiasm of our volunteers in workplace campaigns, I have no doubt we will reach and exceed this year’s goal”

What: Participants relaxed in the elegance of enormous white tents on the grounds of the Vimy Officers’ Mess on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. This is the region’s favourite garden party featuring culinary delights, wine tasting, martinis and microbrewery beer and live entertainment.
