And when wildfires raged in
Manitoba last year, bringing
numerous evacuees to Winnipeg,
Wawanesa employees volunteer at a wildfire fuel cleanup.
Wawanesa stepped up.
“The convention centre, located
near our national headquarters,
was the hub for helping evacuees,
especially for organizing the huge
amount of donations,” Conrad
says. “We sent more than 125
employees for four days to sort
items and make sure the process
to collect donations was as easy as
possible for evacuees.”
For Dhillon and Conrad, it was
a response only to be expected of
Wawanesa and its employees.
“When our communities
need us, we will be there, ready
to roll up our sleeves and take
action,” says Dhillon. “Our people
want to do the best that they can,
in the time that they have, and
make a difference.”
