Happy Wednesday!

Anyone recognize this face? Dougie has been a staple around Grande Prairie since I was a little kid. I used to dance around with him at Storm games and you could find him at most sporting events around town. He’s been a huge supporter of youth sports and today he showed that nothings changed.

I was at the bottle depot with a bunch of bottles that got dropped off at the cages for Mason’s trip to Vegas. He asked me if I was fundraising for a team and I said not this time but instead for a player who was invited to a big tourney in the states. He patiently waited to see the total of the bottles and it was roughly a $100. He pulled out a $100 bill and said let’s double that. I was speechless and told him that’s too much and I can’t accept it. He forced it into my pocket and said he feels so happy to support a kid on such a big trip.

The kindness within our community has always been a reason we call this place home.

Thank you Doug!! You’re an amazing human begin.
