Thank you to Rick Waugh and the Scotiabank

Last night in the Rotunda of the Manitoba Legislature, Rick Waugh President and CEO of the Scotiabank presented two $100,000 cheques. One was to the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. The second was to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet.

Rick Waugh grew up in Winnipeg, and graduated from the University of Manitoba before moving to Toronto. In his speech last night he pointed out that the Scotiabank first came to Winnipeg 114 years ago. Indeed Scotiabank, which started in Halifax, came to Winnipeg before it went to Toronto! However, its headquarters are now in Toronto.

Thank you Rick and the Scotiabank for your generous support to two of Manitoba's major cultural institutions.
