We were honored to be a part of this year’s Pink Gala, helping create an unforgettable evening for such an important cause. 💖

1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime—which means we all know someone who has been affected by this disease. That’s why funding research, treatments, and screenings is so critical.

Last night was nothing short of inspiring, with so many coming together to raise awareness and show support for those diagnosed and for breast cancer survivors. We’re so grateful to have contributed our decor to this incredible event and are proud to support a cause that truly makes a difference. 🌸

Today is Truth and Reconciliation day,
a day dedicated to honouring the survivors of residential schools and giving remembrance to the children who lost their lives.
Wearing orange today means more than just the colour.
It’s about respect and listening and learning.
Take today to educate yourself, reflect and listen. Read about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94
Calls to Action.
If you are local to Saskatoon and the surrounding area, head to Wanuskewin today 10-4pm and engage in a full day of learning for those all affected and learn how we can all move forward with respect and honour.
And wear orange to show those around you that you believe the victims, you believe every child matters, and you honour and respect Truth and Reconciliation.
