ELECTRONIC BINGO VIDEO LOTTERY Responsible Gaming features are integrated into every VLT to help players manage the amount of time and money they spend playing. Features include a permanent on-screen clock and a time limit set by the player. VLTs display cash and not credits on-screen, and there is a limit on the amount of cash the VLT will accept per session. Other features include the Problem Gambling Helpline shown on-screen with a related message printed on VLT tickets, plus a responsible gaming button leading to in-depth information. An information centre at every VLT site offers published information, including how VLTs actually work and common gambling myths. The material also explains the cost of playing and offers resources for problem gambling assistance. Recognized as one of the most innovative new gaming technologies of the year, the new electronic bingo system at Winnipeg’s casinos helps players track their spending more easily by displaying a dollar value rather than credits. Also displayed on screen are messages and information relating to responsible gaming and problem gaming. Players can use their Club Card with the bingo system to track their spending over time. A player’s information is recorded via their Club Card and can be accessed through a Casino Gaming Activity Report. 272G=C9<=E0N`V[\4NZV[T.PaVcVaf?R]\_a`N_RNcNVYNOYRa\ 0YbO0N_QZRZOR_`b]\[_R^bR`aNaDV[[V]RT¹`PN`V[\` AUV`S_RR_R]\_a]_\cVQR`]YNfR_`dVaU`RYRPaV[S\_ZNaV\[ \[aURV_]YNfS\_aURYN`a^bN_aR_N[QfRN_a\QNaR PNYR[QN_fRN_=YNfR_`PN[b`RaUV`V[S\_ZNaV\[a\ Z\[Va\_aURV_\d[]YNfN[QXRR]VadVaUV[aURV_YVZVa` @B==<?A6;4<B?0<::B;6A62@" /6;4<C<9B;A22?=?<4?.: /6;4< C<9B;A22? =?<4?.: /V[T\`URYQNa0YbO?RTR[a0N`V[\ N[Q:P=UVYYV]`@aNaV\[0N`V[\]_\cVQR N[RePRYYR[a\]]\_ab[VafS\_[\[]_\Àa \_TN[VgNaV\[`a\_NV`RSb[Q` 2cR_ffRN_NO\ba!T_\b]`]N_aVPV]NaRV[aUR /V[T\C\Yb[aRR_=_\T_NZN[Q_NV`RNO\ba!ZVYYV\[ S\_aURV_]_\T_NZ`:N[Va\ON9\aaR_VR`d\_X`dVaU`RcR[ bZO_RYYNNTR[PVR`V[aUR]_\cV[PRa\SNV_YfQV`a_VObaROV[T\ \]]\_ab[VaVR`NZ\[TaU\`RdV`UV[Ta\]N_aVPV]NaR AURS\YY\dV[T`a\_VR`SRNab_RT_\b]``RYRPaRQOfaUR :N[Va\ON0\ZZb[Vaf@R_cVPR`0\b[PVY:0@0 .P\Z]YRaRYV`aV[T\S&]_\T_NZ_RPV]VR[a`N[Q bZO_RYYNT_\b]`V`NcNVYNOYRNadddZYPZOPN #:.;6A</.9<AA2?62@ /6;4<C<9B;A22?=?<4?.: MANITOBA INDIGENOUS CULTURAL EDUCATION CENTRE The Manitoba Indigenous Cultural Education Centre (MICEC) in Winnipeg is a non-profit, charitable organization established to promote public awareness and understanding of indigenous cultures to all Manitobans. Through the centre’s Community Connection Program and the People’s Library, staff and volunteers enlighten visitors about the history, culture, traditions and social contributions of our province’s Aboriginal, Inuit and Metis peoples. The centre offers a collection of more than 10,000 books, historical artifacts and art pieces reflecting the culture and heritage of Manitoba’s indigenous peoples. MICEC also offers a school liaison program to help young people learn more about Aboriginal issues. In 2007, the organization began planning a major revitalization project for its heritage building. By participating in the Manitoba Lotteries Bingo Volunteer Program at Winnipeg’s casinos, and with the support of Manitoba Community Services Council, the centre raised the funds needed for a complete building renovation. “As the only library in Point Douglas, our centre serves a vital community need.” The centre is now fully accessible and more energy efficient. It also allowed MICEC to greatly expand its programming. “As the only library in Point Douglas, our centre serves a vital community need,” says People’s Library clerk, Colleen Reader. “A revitalized building allows us to better fulfill our mandate while providing a warm, welcoming and accessible community space.” 272G=C9<=EAUR=\_aNTR3_VR[Q`UV]0R[a_RV[=\_aNTRYN=_NV_VR _RPRVcRQ\]R_NaV[TN[Q_R[\cNaV\[Sb[QV[TaUN[X`a\ :0@0N[QaUR/V[T\C\Yb[aRR_=_\T_NZAURPR[a_R \SSR_`N_N[TR\S`R_cVPR`PR[aR_RQN_\b[Q.O\_VTV[NY ]R\]YRV[aURP\ZZb[Vaf ARBORG BIFROST PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION Thanks to the vision and hard work of its residents, the Interlake community of Arborg now offers recreational opportunities year-round. “We have good recreation facilities for winter, such as our curling and hockey rinks,” says Reg Johnson, chair of the Arborg Bifrost Parks and Recreation Commission. “But we didn’t have anything for the summer months.” A community survey revealed a collective desire for a public swimming pool. The result was no ordinary swimming pool, but the $1.2 million Credit Union Aquatic Centre, officially opened in August 2009. Commission volunteers supplemented the major financial support of Arborg Credit Union, through the Manitoba Lotteries Bingo Volunteer Program at Winnipeg’s casinos and with the support of the Manitoba Community Services Council. “The aquatic centre helps Arborg become more of a recreational centre for our region,” says Johnson. “We are very lucky to have it – and we’re very proud of it.” The new facility features a 25-metre heated outdoor pool, water slides, floor geysers, spray arches, lap lanes, a zero beach entrance and a preschooler pool area. The centre offers a full slate of family-friendly activities including classes in aquarobics, snorkelling and scuba diving. @B==<?A6;4<B?0<::B;6A62@$ /6;4<C<9B;A22?=?<4?.: WINNIPEG INNER CITY YOUTH FUTURES FUND Students get much from participating in extracurricular activities. A significant part of a well-rounded education, these opportunities help students build character and enjoy the kind of community spirit that inspires them to stay in school. Realizing this, a group of Winnipeg school principals and parents work together to make sure everyone can benefit from such programs, regardless of family income. The Winnipeg Inner City Youth Futures Fund is available to participating schools whose students have financial need. “The fund enables disadvantaged students at 14 different schools to participate fully in activities such as sports, art and music,” says Arlene Skull, principal advisor to the fund’s advisory committee. “It helps students pay for things that their families might not otherwise be able to afford, from sports equipment to bus tickets.” “The fund enables disadvantaged students at 14 different schools to participate fully in activities such as sports, art and music.” The fund is replenished by adult volunteers participating in Manitoba Lotteries’ Bingo Volunteer Program at Winnipeg’s casinos and with the support of Manitoba Community Services Council. “Each school identifies students who need a little help in participating in school activities that enrich their lives and education,” says Skull. “The program enables those kids to participate equally with other kids. All of the funding goes directly to help them.” THE SETON CENTRE Manitoba’s natural wonders have long attracted people from all over the world. The wildlife of Manitoba’s Central Plains so inspired the famed naturalist, artist and author Ernest Thompson Seton that he immortalized it in his work. Seton lived in Carberry where he studied and painted wildlife. He would later become a founding pioneer of the Boy Scouts of America. The Gardiner Building, built in 1915, which houses the Seton Centre, was preserved for its historical significance and converted into a museum to commemorate the artist’s life and work through displays of art and other unique artifacts. The museum has quickly outgrown its modest 500 sq. ft. space. Local residents decided to raise funds to expand it to accommodate more artifacts and provide a multi-use complex for the community. Through participation in the Manitoba Lotteries Bingo Volunteer Program at Winnipeg’s casinos and with the support of Manitoba Community Services Council, the committee raised funds to double the museum space and include classrooms, art exhibit spaces and a public meeting area. %:.;6A</.9<AA2?62@ “We very much appreciated the help of Manitoba Lotteries,” says committee chair, Cheryl Orr-Hood. “Having the bingo funds secured gave us more confidence to approach other potential funders to help us achieve our goals.” The new addition to the Seton Centre, slated to open in the summer of 2010, will celebrate the former resident’s work and provide a unique focal point for the citizens of this southwestern Manitoba town. /6;4<C<9B;A22?=?<4?.: LA RIVIERE AND COMMUNITY RECREATION ASSOCIATION La Riviere and Community Recreation Centre, located in the scenic village of La Riviere on the banks of the Pembina River, has become a focal point for community activity. “With the help of Manitoba Lotteries, we have been better able to serve our community by providing a year-round recreation centre,” says centre president, Doug Scharf. In the summer and fall, the facility serves as a community hall hosting popular suppers and other community and family-oriented events. Once the snow flies, the centre offers ice skating and sponge hockey, with the ice converted into curling sheets for the annual bonspiel in February. It is also the home of a community breakfast with Santa and bake and treasure sale. “With the help of Manitoba Lotteries, we have been better able to serve our community by providing a year-round recreation centre.” The La Riviere and Community Recreation Association raised funds to expand the centre’s amenities to include a new kitchen, meeting rooms and banquet hall. The association made it happen by volunteering through the Manitoba Lotteries Bingo Volunteer Program at Winnipeg’s casinos, and with the support of Manitoba Community Services Council. The renewed community centre is scheduled to open in early 2010. CENTRE D’INTERPRÉTATION SAINT-LÉON INTERPRETIVE CENTER The citizens of St. Leon know they have an interesting story to tell, and they have found an inventive way to share it with the world. The Centre d’interprétation Saint-Léon Interpretive Center weaves together the people, geography, history, wildlife and industry of this village of 120 people in southwestern Manitoba. The lessons are delivered via a wide range of interactive exhibits and artifact displays in the new interpretive center. “We wanted something that would attract tourists and engage them in learning more about St. Leon,” says committee pastchair, Luc Labossiere. “The original project was completed in 2005, but when Manitoba’s first wind-generating farm was opened here, we knew we had to keep going.” Through participation in the Manitoba Lotteries Bingo Volunteer Program at Winnipeg’s casinos and with funding through the Manitoba Community Services Council, the center was able to introduce green energy and nature exhibits, along with renovations to house them. “The center will be fully completed by spring 2010, but it’s already having a positive effect on our community,” says Labossiere, noting the center hosts many visiting school groups. “It’s bringing more people to St. Leon and becoming a definite source of community pride for the people who live here.” 272G=C9<=EAUR/_\\XQNYR0\ZZb[Vaf0R[a_RdN`NOYRa\XRR]aUR`]\_a\SPb_YV[TV[Va` P\ZZb[VafaUN[X`a\c\Yb[aRR_`dU\Sb[Q_NV`RQaU_\bTUaUR/V[T\C\Yb[aRR_ =_\T_NZN[Q:0@0S\_N[Rd`URYYa\P\cR_Va`ad\`URRa`\SVPR @B==<?A6;4<B?0<::B;6A62@& /6;4<C<9B;A22?=?<4?.: COMMUNITY LIVING MANITOBA – SELKIRK Enabling every citizen to live as independently as possible is a fundamental way to enrich lives. Realizing this, Community Living Manitoba is dedicated to promoting the full inclusion of Manitobans with intellectual disabilities in our province. “Without Manitoba Lotteries, we would have never been able to do it.” The Selkirk branch of Community Living Manitoba recently completed renovations to the lower level of its main building, making the multi-use space fully accessible. The centre raised funds for the project by participating in the Manitoba Lotteries Bingo Volunteer Program at Winnipeg’s casinos and with the support of Manitoba Community Services Council and other fundraising efforts. “This space houses our children’s summer program and accommodates other activities, such as cooking classes, recreation and social opportunities,” says executive director, Maria Freeman. The renovations are allowing not only the clients to become more self-sufficient, but the centre itself as well. “We also use it for staff training sessions and as a source of income by renting it to the public for special events,” Freeman says. Meanwhile, clients of Community Living Selkirk gain work experience by helping to prepare the space for rental and cleaning it afterward. “Our bingo participation covered the cost of our renovations,” says Freeman, noting capital expenses are not part of their operating budget. “Without Manitoba Lotteries, we would have never been able to do it.” 272G=C9<=EAUR4YR[O\_\4NVRafAURNa_RO_\bTUaaUR`VYcR_`P_RR[ a\4YR[O\_\V[&!0\ZZb[Vaf_b[S\_QRPNQR`aUR aURNa_RUN`P\[aV[bNYYfZNQRVZ]_\cRZR[a`dVaU dURRYPUNV_NPPR``VOYRdN`U_\\Z`aURYNaR`aaUN[X` a\:0@0N[QaUR/V[T\C\Yb[aRR_=_\T_NZ OAK RIVER PLAYGROUND COMMITTEE Thanks to a strong community effort in Oak River, children there are now enjoying a considerably expanded and renovated playground area. “Our goal was to ensure a safe community playground for our children,” says Wendi Burt, chair of the Oak River Playground Committee. Playground improvements began after residents recognized the community’s aging space was no longer meeting their needs. The committee’s first step was raising funds, which included participating in the Manitoba Lotteries Bingo Volunteer Program at Winnipeg’s casinos. Out of their fundraising and teamwork sprung four new play structures, including a panda crawl tube, circular ladder, ride-on duck and accessible racer panel. Existing pieces took on a new life with cleaning, minor repairs and a new coat of paint. The results of their efforts have been well received in this southwestern Manitoba community. “We’ve seen an increase in playground use since we installed the new pieces and painted most of the existing structures,” says Burt. “Children will certainly be enjoying this playground for years to come.” :.;6A</.9<AA2?62@ /6;4<C<9B;A22?=?<4?.: ST. JOSEPH MUSEUM The St. Joseph Museum offers visitors a fascinating glimpse of our prairie past. In this reconstruction of a pioneer village, visitors get a first-hand look at how the region’s pioneers lived more than a century ago. The pioneer town has 17 restored heritage buildings, including the Perron family home that was built in 1850, complete with nineteenth-century furniture. The model town also features Union Point School dating back to the 1890s with furniture from the same era, a blacksmith shop, general store, vintage agricultural machinery and one of the largest collections of stationary engines and tractors in Western Canada. Over time, the museum that showcased the foundation of the community needed some foundation work of its own. Restoring the Perron homestead to its original splendour required foundation repairs, so the residents of this small town joined forces to raise funds to make it happen. They also decided to add another building to house memorabilia from the sugar beet industry that once thrived in the area. Through the townspeople’s participation in the Manitoba Lotteries Bingo Volunteer Program at Winnipeg’s casinos and with funding through the Manitoba Community Services Council, the residents achieved their goals. Their work ensures this record of the past will be enjoyed well into the future. “The volunteer bingos were instrumental in raising money to make this a feasible project because we have a policy of proceeding with projects only when funding has been secured,” says museum board member, Renald Parent. “Manitoba Lotteries’ help really put the icing on the cake for us.” DUGALD COMMUNITY CLUB Established in 1969, the Dugald Community Club has long served as a meeting place and recreation facility for the 1,500 residents living in and around this southeastern Manitoba town. After all those years of wear and tear, a major facelift done in time for its fortieth anniversary was more than an exercise in vanity. The facelift includes a new kitchen and a 20' by 70' hall for meetings, special events and storage space. The centre serves the recreational, social and cultural needs for residents of all ages in Dugald and the surrounding community. It features an outdoor skating rink, three baseball diamonds and a beginner skateboard park for area residents. Through participation in the Manitoba Lotteries Bingo Volunteer Program at Winnipeg’s casinos and with the support of Manitoba Community Services Council, the club’s board of directors were able to raise funds to help the centre better meet community needs now and into the future. The facelift includes a new kitchen and a 20' by 70' hall for meetings, special events and storage space. Accommodating up to 170 people, the new addition allows the Dugald Community Club to host many social, sports and dinner events each year. The club is also proud to host the annual Rural Municipality of Springfield Canada Celebrations, attracting more than 2,000 people to the community. 272G=C9<=E.aaUR5\YYN[Q0b_YV[T0YbO_V[X_R]NV_`a\aURVPR`b_SNPR _\\SN[QdNYY`UNcRZNQRaURObVYQV[TZ\_RR[R_TfRSÀPVR[a N[QZ\_RV[cVaV[TS\_aURY\PNYPb_YV[TYRNTbR`C\Yb[aRR_` Sb[Q_NV`RQaU_\bTUaUR/V[T\C\Yb[aRR_=_\T_NZ @B==<?A6;4<B?0<::B;6A62@ 0<::B;6AF@B==<?A 0<::B;6AF @B==<?A AUR\_TN[VgRQRcR[a`N[Q]_\T_NZ` aUNaO_V[Tb`a\TRaUR_`a_R[TaUR[aUR `\PVNYSNO_VP\S\b_P\ZZb[VaVR` :N[Va\ON9\aaR_VR`V[cR`a`\cR_ZVYYV\[N[[bNYYfa\`b]]\_a aUR`RP\ZZb[VafObVYQV[T\]]\_ab[VaVR`aU_\bTU\baaUR]_\cV[PR 3_\ZaUR:@@\PVRaf\S:N[Va\ONN[QANXR=_VQRDV[[V]RTa\aUR 0N[NQVN[@]\_a`0R[a_R:N[Va\ONdR]N_a[R_dVaU`b`aNV[NOYR V[VaVNaVcR`aUNaO_V[TYN`aV[T`\PVNYN[QRP\[\ZVPOR[RÀa` 0\ZZb[Vaf@b]]\_a]_\T_NZ`N_RYV`aRQNadddZYPZOPN NY\[TdVaUaURV_N]]YVPNaV\[]_\PR`` BALLET IN THE PARK While it may be fit for a king or queen, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet (RWB) exists to provide everyone with world class art and entertainment, right here in Manitoba. In addition to their annual performance schedule, each summer, the world-renowned company organizes a set of free performances at the Lyric Theatre Stage in Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park. The shows are a thank-you to the community that has been so supportive of its efforts over the past 70 years. “Now, after more than 30 years, Ballet in the Park has become a wonderful summer tradition for us,” says Susan Fraser, the RWB’s director of corporate partnerships. “It features three nights of mixed repertoire work performed by dancers from the RWB School’s Professional Division, along with special guests from our company, including the principal dancers.” :.;6A</.9<AA2?62@ Manitoba Lotteries is proud to be the presenting sponsor for this annual event that drew nearly 15,000 people to the park last year. Fraser says the tremendous support of Manitoba Lotteries included event funding and exemplary volunteer support. “Ballet in the Park is the RWB’s way of giving back to the community,” says Fraser. “Family-oriented, it draws many dance fans, others who have never seen live ballet and even young children in their tutus dancing on the grass, along to the music on stage.

The Manitoba Division of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada continues to be a leader in finding a cure for the disease, while also providing the supports and services people affected by MS may need to enhance their quality of life. “Our two major programs provide hope for the future by supporting MS research into the cause, treatment and cure of the disease,” says Shelly Smith-Hines, director of development with the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada – Manitoba Division. “They also provide hope for today through our many services that help people with MS and their families.” Manitoba Lotteries stepped up to help as the presenting sponsor of the 2009 Manitoba Lotteries MS Walk. Thanks to tremendous community support, our province hosted Canada’s largest walk and celebrated 10 walks in communities across Manitoba. “With Manitoba Lotteries’ sponsorship, walk participants and event volunteers helped us raise $814,728 this year in the fight to end MS,” says Smith-Hines, noting net proceeds support client services, funding, research, public education, social action and caregiver support. MANITOBA LOTTERIES BRUSH UP WINNIPEG! Few things improve the curb appeal of homes more effectively than a good coat of paint. For some Manitobans with disabilities or financial constraints, it is not possible to put their home’s best face forward without some community help. “Brush Up Winnipeg! is a program that allows us to beautify Winnipeg by helping those who are financially or physically unable to paint their homes’ exteriors,” says Take Pride Winnipeg! executive director, Tom Ethans. The project brings volunteer teams of painters from Manitoba Lotteries and other members of the local corporate community to selected homes for exterior painting. In addition to recruiting its own corporate team of volunteers, Manitoba Lotteries was the title sponsor for 2009. Anne and George Gates believe they were fortunate to get help through a unique urban beautification program. “Words alone cannot describe our feelings of gratitude to the staff of Take Pride Winnipeg!, Manitoba Lotteries, donor companies, sponsors and volunteers,” says Anne Gates, in her thank you letter to program organizers. “They went beyond simply painting our home and beautified our flowerbeds, updated our mailbox and house number and even fixed our doorbells. At this point in our lives, we truly could not have done this without the help of this program.” Ethans says Manitoba Lotteries hosted the volunteer appreciation party at McPhillips Station Casino where volunteers enjoyed outstanding hospitality and first-rate entertainment by Manitoba’s Sierra Noble. The homeowners were also presented with framed photographs of their spruced up homes. “Brush Up Winnipeg! is great for the teams involved because it makes them feel like they are making a difference in our community – which, of course, they are,” says Ethans. “The homeowners’ neighbours saw what was being done and started doing things to improve their own yards. It’s an inspiring thing.” 272G=C9<=EAUR0N[NQVN[@]\_a0R[a_R:N[Va\ONUN`R[aR_RQN !fRN_NT_RRZR[ad\_aU dVaU:N[Va\ON9\aaR_VR` AUR=YNaV[bZ=\QVbZ\S2ePRYYR[PR=_\T_NZ`b]]\_a`aUR R[UN[PRZR[a\SP\NPUV[Ta_NV[V[TN[QQRcRY\]ZR[a\S :N[Va\ON¹`Pb__R[aN[QSbab_R<YfZ]VPNaUYRaR` @B==<?A6;4<B?0<::B;6A62@ 0<::B;6AF@B==<?A GIMLI FILM FESTIVAL The natural wonders of Manitoba’s scenic Interlake region draw thousands of tourists every year and, each summer, the Gimli Film Festival gives them one more reason to make the trip. The Gimli Film Festival is a non-profit charitable organization, dedicated to providing quality entertainment and awareness of new, exceptional films. The festival features five days of award-winning Manitoban, Canadian and international films at a variety of Gimli venues. Manitoba Lotteries is a gold level sponsor of the Gimli Film Festival as part of its broad support of community events throughout the province. Film fans watch movies from the beach on an 11-metre screen that rises out of the waters of Lake Winnipeg, enjoying cinematic art, community spirit and the warmth of a Manitoba summer evening. Audiences can also choose from over 80 features, shorts and documentaries at the indoor venues in the area. “The festival hosts emerging and established filmmakers who participate in panel discussions, seminars and question and answer sessions at their respective film screenings,” says festival executive director, Kristine Sigurdson. “Annual competitions and cash awards allow the festival to recognize excellence in filmmaking, while the daily receptions and parties are valuable opportunities for filmmakers, sponsors and audience members to network and discuss all aspects of film.” Sigurdson says the festival not only promotes the visual arts, but also helps showcase Gimli as a great place to live, work and play. ST-PIERRE-JOLYS FROG FOLLIES INC. What began as a community event in 1970 celebrating a royal visit has since grown – in leaps and bounds – to become a cherished family festival. The three-day St-Pierre-Jolys Frog Follies originally entered Manitoba’s community festival calendar as a welcoming event for Queen Elizabeth II’s visit during Manitoba’s Centennial. Manitoba Lotteries is proud to support the event as one of many such community festivals that it sponsors each year throughout the province and as part of its French Languages Strategy. Combining the region’s renowned spirit and hospitality with the Canadian National Frog Jumping Championship, the annual event is a popular homecoming for former residents of St-Pierre-Jolys and surrounding areas. “It’s a fun, family-oriented festival, with the frog jumping championships as the central focus,” says Rolly Gagné, vice-president of the St-Pierre-Jolys Frog Follies Inc. “It not only inspires community pride, it also promotes local businesses and invites area residents, past and present, to come out and meet their old friends – and make some new ones.” !:.;6A</.9<AA2?62@ “In 2009, we hosted nearly 4,000 people, even guests from as far away as Ottawa and Vancouver,” says Gagné. “When people hear about it, they just have to come out and see it for themselves.

Bauer successfully fought the disease with the support of his family, friends, fellow patients and CancerCare Manitoba. That team effort not only strengthened Bauer in his time of need, it also inspired him to give something back to the community which was so supportive in his recovery. The result was the Never Alone Foundation, a charity established to help Manitobans in their fight against cancer through research, education and patient support services. Manitoba Lotteries was pleased to be part of the foundation’s team, providing it with a significant fundraising opportunity through the Charitable Poker Tournament program introduced in 2008. The popularity of poker and the fine hospitality at McPhillips Station Casino helped foundation volunteers raise funds to refurbish the bone marrow transplant ward at the Health Sciences Centre. “Some patients stay in this ward for six to eight months,” says Never Alone board member, Shirlee Preteau, noting Manitoba Lotteries’ support was fantastic. “Our charity poker tournament helped us to make the ward more comfortable for patients and their families. It also helped us operate Camp Quality, a summer camp for children and their families living with cancer.” @B==<?A6;4<B?0<::B;6A62@" ?216B16 ?216B16 :N[Va\ON9\aaR_VR`V`QRQVPNaRQa\Sb[QV[T P\ZZb[VafRP\[\ZVPQRcRY\]ZR[a]_\WRPa` aUNaURY]a\VZ]_\cRaURYVcR`\S:N[Va\ON[` DRN_R]_VcVYRTRQa\d\_XdVaUad\`R]N_NaR]_\cV[PVNY]_\T_NZ`aUNaZN[NTRaUR `RYRPaV\[Sb[QV[TN[Q_R]\_aV[T\SaUR`R]_\WRPa`?b_NY2P\[\ZVP1RcRY\]ZR[a 6[VaVNaVcR?216N[QB_ON[1RcRY\]ZR[a6[VaVNaVcR`B16QRNYdVaUNdVQRcN_VRaf \S]_\WRPa`S_\ZDV[[V]RT¹`DR`a2[Q0bYab_NY0R[a_Ra\aUR[\[aVZOR_S\_R`a ]_\QbPa`V[Qb`a_fV[[\_aUR_[:N[Va\ONAUR]_\WRPa`_N[TRS_\ZSRN`VOVYVaf`abQVR` a\P\[`a_bPaV\[_R[\cNaV\[N[QZ\_R WINNIPEG ART GALLERY There are always a great many good things happening at the Winnipeg Art Gallery – and at least one significant project goes over most people’s heads. The iconic 36-year-old building has undergone extensive roof repairs that may not immediately catch visitors’ eyes, but still go a long way to ensuring the comfort of visitors and the health of the building. In 2008, the Winnipeg Art Gallery received about $1.3 million through the Urban Development Initiatives (UDI), a program largely funded by the VLT revenue of Manitoba Lotteries, to replace its roof and revitalize a rooftop sculpture garden. Established in 1912, the Winnipeg Art Gallery houses an impressive collection of nearly 24,000 works, including the world’s largest collection of contemporary Inuit art. Its Memorial Boulevard complex opened in 1971 and has since proven to be #:.;6A</.9<AA2?62@ a popular focal point for celebrating and promoting the visual arts. The WAG, as it is commonly known, also features a popular restaurant, art classes, art-oriented gift shop and meeting facilities to host everything from public meetings to weddings. Thanks to the support of Manitoba Lotteries, and the community, the oldest civic art gallery in Canada will be in fine form to celebrate its centennial in 2012. 272G=C9<=E.`PbY]ab_RTN_QR[PRYRO_NaV[TaURaUN[[VcR_`N_f \S@a/\[VSNPRUN`_RPRVcRQSb[QV[TS_\ZB16a\URY] dVaUaURP\`a`\SP\ZZV``V\[V[Tb]a\`PbY]ab_R` NaaUR3_R[PU^bN_aR_¹`S\_ZR_PVafUNYY ?216B16 BRANDON KEYSTONE CENTRE The 2010 MasterCard Memorial Cup Canadian Junior Hockey Championship is coming to Brandon and before the first puck hits the ice, the host facility that is such an integral part of life in western Manitoba will already be ahead of the game. “The Keystone Centre is thrilled to be hosting this prestigious event and we will welcome guests from across Canada,” says centre general manager, Dan Robertson. “The Keystone Centre is western Manitoba’s community centre and it would be very difficult to find anyone in this region who had never been to the Keystone.” The long-time home of the the Western Hockey League’s Brandon Wheat Kings and renowned Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, the Keystone Centre has seen renovation and expansion through to March 2010 with the addition of seven private suites, a state-ofthe-art video scoreboard in Westman Place and additional structural, and heating, ventilation and cooling system upgrades in other parts of the facility. “Every year, we host several large-scale agricultural shows, among other special events, so it’s good to be able to bring in fresh air in an efficient and environmentally-sustainable way,” says Robertson. “The upgrades will make our building more efficient while making everyone who visits this building substantially more comfortable.” Robertson says the improvements were made possible by a significant grant from Rural Economic Development Initiative (REDI), a program funded largely by VLT revenue of Manitoba Lotteries. “This building has not had a major facelift since it first opened in 1971,” says Robertson. “The capital funding allows us to bring the Keystone Centre up to a standard that’s expected in the 21st century.” 272G=C9<=E.[RdYV[R\SY\PNYYf]_\QbPRQ\_TN[VPORRS]_\QbPa`ZNfOR \[aURU\_Vg\[ON`RQ\[ZN_XRa_R`RN_PUS_\ZaUR:N[Va\ON :N_XRa]YNPRA_NQR.``\PVNaV\[N[\[]_\ÀaP\\]R_NaVcR\S \_TN[VPYVcR`a\PX]_\QbPR_`AUR_R`RN_PU_RPRVcRQ?216`b]]\_a WEST END CULTURAL CENTRE When the curtain went up on the new, improved West End Cultural Centre (WECC) in 2009, the spotlight fell on the extraordinary results of a community effort that is truly something to sing about. The west Winnipeg venue, originally established in an 80-year-old church, is dedicated to supporting regular concert programming of music out of the mainstream and emerging performers. The WECC also helps Manitobans learn more about music and the arts. Realizing that the aging venue had a bright future with a strong and growing slate of programming, the WECC undertook extensive renovations to meet current and future demands. A major capital funding campaign, led by the WECC board of directors, succeeded in motivating people and organizations to help the popular venue to remain and grow in the neighbourhood where it was born. Urban Development Initiatives (UDI), a program largely funded by the VLT revenue of Manitoba Lotteries, supported the addition of a 389-seat concert theatre, making the facility larger, more attractive and functional. The renovations also made the building more environmentally-friendly and comfortable for artists and patrons. “Thanks to the generosity of Manitobans, we now have a larger concert seating area and dedicated space for our growing community-based education programs,” says WECC general manager, Meg McGimpsey. NON-TIMBER FOREST PRODUCTS INDUSTRY Agricultural diversity leads to better food, farms, jobs and local economies. In Manitoba’s north, the provincial government is supporting agricultural diversity by investing in the non-timber forest products (NTFP) industry. Non-timber forest products are goods, other than dimensional wood or pulp, that come from forest plants and animals. Examples are wild rice, berries, maple syrup, essential oils and craft supplies. The province has helped University College of the North in The Pas create courses to train harvesters in the NTFP industry. The courses focus on harvesting methods, product handling, production and processing at the community level. The province has also begun to redesign and hire staff for a program to help northern entrepreneurs and organizations by offering technical assistance and micro loans. Thanks to funding from the Rural Economic Development Initiative (REDI), funded in part by VLT revenues provided by Manitoba Lotteries, the NTFP sector continues to develop and grow. Future plans include promoting business opportunities, establishing a mentorship network to help new entrepreneurs and launching an NTFP harvester association. @B==<?A6;4<B?0<::B;6A62@$
