WCG Connecting Westman Tour Raises Nearly $6,000 for the Souris Early Years School Playground

Souris, Manitoba: A great turnout for Westman Communications Group’s (WCG) annual Connecting Westman Tour kickoff on May 28, 2026, resulted in $5,809.10 raised for the Souris Early Years School Playground. The total includes a matched donation from WCG, providing a major financial boost toward upgrading the school's outdoor play spaces. These enhancements will give students a vibrant environment to develop physical skills, build social ties, and spark their creativity.

Designed to amplify local giving, the Connecting Westman Tour features a series of community barbecue lunches hosted by WCG throughout the summer season. For a simple donation, guests can enjoy a lunch of hot dogs, smokies, chips, and drinks, knowing that 100 percent of the funds go straight to a nominated neighbourhood charity. WCG then matches the day's total, effectively doubling the community's investment in its own grassroots projects.

“We couldn't have asked for a better start to the 2026 Connecting Westman Tour,” said WCG Marketing Manager, Brandi Crowe. “WCG is deeply grateful to everyone who came out to support the Souris Early Years School Playground. Investing in spaces where local children can thrive, play, and build connections is exactly what this tour is about. We are excited to carry this community spirit forward into our next three stops over the summer.”

The Connecting Westman Tour is just one of the many ways WCG actively engages with the communities it serves, demonstrating its commitment not just as a service provider but as a dedicated community partner. Remaining stops on the 2026 Connecting Westman Tour include Glenboro (June 25), Winnipegosis (July 23), and Pilot Mound (August 27).
