On behalf of Medic Canada, CEO Robin Knudsen accepted a check for 20,000 dollars on January 12, 2012. This Alberta Government grant, presented to Medic by Richard Marz, MLA for Olds Didsbury Three Hills will be going to help poverty stricken people in Sri Lanka. Medic Canada helps people in countries like Sri Lanka by giving people who earn 2 dollars a day or less micro-loans as well as doing micro-credit work.

reFashion in Olds Alberta raises funds for Gowns for Grad project

November 4, 2011

By Ashleigh Schoonderbeek

On Friday November 4th, 2011, Karen Grudeski founder of the local Gowns for Grad project and Kristin Allan, owner of Re-Find Clothing and Décor in Uptowne Olds Alberta, teamed up to present the first ever re-Fashion Show. The event, which took place at Bean Brokers in Olds, was used to promote the charity Gowns for Grads.

Karen saw that some graduates struggled with the costs of graduation and wanted to help.

Kristin Allan, the owner of Re-Find, got involved when Karen approached her and asked to be a partner. She saw the night’s events as a great way to promote Gowns for Grads, as well as provide the ladies of the area with a fun night out.

The evening also included a demonstration from True Form, headed by specialist fitness trainer Drew Taddia.

You can look forward to a spring fashion show which is expected to be in May.
