Local Investment Toward Employment (LITE) and the CBC

Friday morning this week, LITE held their annual fundraiser - a Wild Blueberry Pancake Breakfast. Terry McLeod and CBC's Morning Show were there to highlight the event.

It was an opportunity for good food, good company and an opportunity to purchase a wide variety of products produced by those in Winnipeg's inner city area.

Artist Cody Starr (photo with his painting), from Winnipeg's Graffiti Art Gallery program was there along with the Gallery's executive director Steve Wilson. Mary Lou Bourgeois, Liberal candidate in Point Douglas, was also there.


Along with other items, I purchased some candles produced to support the work of Marymound (second photo), and a bag made by Nikki Owen, a talented youth with lots of future potential (third photo).
