Supporting Our Community 2015

Hospitals of Regina Foundation -
http://www.hrf.sk.ca/
The Hospitals of Regina Foundation works for you and your families to improve patient care at Regina’s hospitals.

The people of southern Saskatchewan depend on these hospitals for many essential services, and we depend on people like you for support that is equally important. We raise money for advanced equipment and other urgently needed enhancements. Without the generous donations from our community, we simply could not do this.

The Ride for the Breath of Life is an annual motorcycle fundraising event in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada at which Riders from all backgrounds band together to help change the face of cystic fibrosis from one of despair to one of hope.

Funds raised through the Ride for the Breath of Life support life-changing cystic fibrosis research, clinical care and advocacy. This support has resulted in outstanding progress in the quality of life for Canadians with cystic fibrosis.

With your help, we are getting even closer to finding a cure for this devastating disease. However, while we have achieved enormous gains in quality of life and life expectancy, we still lose precious young lives to cystic fibrosis every day. Join us at a Ride for the Breath of Life in your community!

Shop Local: See You at Crave!

Crave kitchen + wine bar is at 1925 Victoria Avenue in the old “Assiniboine Club” and is one of my favourite places in Regina to eat! I meet friends there often for lunch, dinner or just a glass of wine. I’ve attended many business functions there, as well as a monthly networking meeting.

Chef Jonathan Thauberger is a big believer in good quality food and supports local producers. Food issues are treated respect and care. I have celiac disease and always feel safe eating at Crave.

The food, atmosphere and service are fantastic. The staff go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. Crave even caters, so if you have a catered event to plan, contact Emily at 306.525.8777. She’ll look after you.
