When a call comes from the Winnipeg community, Dr. Hook Towing answers with enthusiasm. We consider it an honour to help organizations throughout our city with their charitable projects that help others.
We all remember the song from our childhood about teddy bears picnic – hundreds of our favourite stuffed animals gathering in a wooded area for a joyous celebration.
Of course, with Winnipeg being the home of arguably the world’s most famous tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff, it’s only natural that we would also be home to an actual Teddy Bears’ Picnic, and for more than 20 years the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba has been the beneficiary of this unique event which brings kids of all ages together with their favourite bedtime buddies.
This year, the Teddy Bears’ Picnic took place on Sunday, May 26 with activities running all day for kids and families for free. It’s certainly one of, if not the most unique event on our calendar.
This is easily one of the best charities we support. Be it from personal experience or via family members, we all have ties to care for the younger members of the Winnipeg community, and we’re all excited to be part of the Picnic year in and year out.
And in case you need a reminder of the song we talked about off the top, check out this video of Anne Murray singing the childhood favourite.
