1942, the Kinsmen Club of Calgary made
it their goal to raise $0.10 per Calgarian
and entered a Milk Wagon in the Calgary
Stampede Parade. Spectators were encouraged to throw dimes into the wagon.
That first Mile of Dimes raised
$1,600.00 with all proceeds going to
Milk for Britain. By the end of the war
Calgarians had donated $100,000.00
through the Calgary Club ($300,000.00
was raised nationally.) This translated

Cystic Fibrosis and The Mile of Dimes
If 2 people who know one another each wish to buy
20 tickets for $20.00, you may want to suggest that
they combine their money and buy 100 tickets for
$50.00. This way they are getting 50 tickets for
$25.00 each instead of 20 tickets for $20.00.
If you see that buyers are going to buy $20.00 worth
of tickets on all the vehicles, be sure to tell them about
the Rainbow package. For a $100.00, they can buy
sheets of tickets for all the vehicles at one time and it
saves them $20.00.

Local Albertan’s who bought tickets on all of the
lotteries by phone or on-line prior to the start of the
Stampede may ask if their purchase included all of the
Wheels vehicles. The answer is no. Their purchase
included a chance to win the truck and fifth wheel, the
truck and toys and the boat and wheels only.
Advise buyers not to fold sheets of tickets. The
tickets will go through the printer easier.

Kananaskis Country with excellent
access and beautiful views of the
Elbow River and the Rocky Mountains. Through the support of the

dedicated to helping individuals and
families overcome poverty. Their
programs focus on health care and
education to address the root causes
of poverty and achieve lasting solutions.

helped Enviros to purchase and
maintain their fleet of vehicles
resulting in programs being able
to work with children, youth and
families both within the city and
in the wilderness. Over the last
36 years this has equalled over
$500,000 in donations.
