GreetingsSusan A. ThompsonColl. '67, UWinnipeg '71Foundation President and CEOWhile the larger world faced tumult and uncertainty, triggered bythe market meltdown that began in September of 2008, for theUniversity of Winnipeg Foundation, 2009/2010 was a time ofremarkable agility, adaptability and perseverance.Navigating this turbulence and successfully staying ahead of thecurve required, for the Foundation, a process of heightened donorstewardship and continued prudent and cautious management ofour Endowment Fund.In addition to surpassing our Campaign goal of $70 million, wesucceeded in making our $1.1 million commitment to The Universityof Winnipeg for scholarships and bursaries.We built relationships with new donors and friends of the Universityand fostered longstanding ones with endowment fund donors.To date the ‘A World of Opportunity’ Capital Campaign has raised$73 million towards Campaign projects and other Universityacademic programs and student awards. Of this total, theFoundation realized over $8 million in donations in 2009/2010.We have been inspired by the generosity of donors at every levelof giving who continue to support our University and its students,even during difficult times. For example, through the Campaign toRaise Current Funds, over $600,000 was raised for student awards.At March 31, 2010 we are happy to report that the EndowmentFund had a market value of $34.9 million. This successful recoverycan be attributed to the work of our Investment Committee, whosecautious decision-making throughout this tumultuous period servedour University, its students and our donors very well. The Universityof Winnipeg Foundation continues to maintain a conservativeinvestment policy, developed to deliver long-term returns.We are forever grateful to our loyal donors who saw us throughthe challenges faced over the last 18 months and in return areconfident that our agility, our ability to adapt, and our prudentmanagement style will continue to serve our community of friends,our University and its students in the face of our new reality.2

THANK YOU DONORS!9University of Winnipeg Community Supports StudentsSpring 2009 marked a time for our Campus Community to pull together in the face of challenge, to supportUniversity of Winnipeg students. The University of Winnipeg Faculty Association (UWFA), RetireesAssociation (UWRA), Senior Administration and Staff (AESES) joined the Campaign to Raise Current Fundsby launching customized campaigns directed to their peers.In April 2009, UWFA members established a fund to address the 2009/2010 shortfalls in student scholarshipsand bursaries. Volunteers, lead by Professor Pauline Greenhill and Professor Pauline Pearson, organizeda peer-to-peer solicitation of over 300 UWFA members.A parallel effort, launched by the Retirees Association and lead by Dr. Robert Young and Mr. Steve Coppingerbrought the combined total of both campaigns to over $100,000.Further to these efforts Dr. Axworthy requested that University of Winnipeg Senior Administration andAESES members make contributions of both days without pay and donations in support of the Campaignto Raise Current Funds – an extraordinary effort was realized by all.At March 31, 2010, philanthropic contributions totaled over $250,000. Over five hundred donors contributedto the Campaign to Raise Current Funds, with over 400 coming from Faculty, Staff, Retirees and SeniorAdministration.UWFA CampaignInspires Gift to Graduate StudiesDr. Mavis Reimer (BA(Hons) ’76), associate professor in thedepartment of English and the Canada Research Chair in the Cultureof Childhood, is an enthusiastic supporter of The University ofWinnipeg, donating her time and money for over twenty years.As Vice-Chair of the Internal Family Campaign, she helped raiseover $4.1 million from the University’s faculty, staff,administration, and retirees for scholarships and bursaries,academic enhancements, and capital improvements to date.She continues to serve as Committee Chair for the secondphase of this campaign.Her personal focus has been giving to student awards –particularly English scholarships and bursaries. Theseawards include the Perry Nodelman Scholarship inChildren’s Literature; the Kay Unruh Des Roches MemorialScholarship, for a student majoring in English; and theWalter and Margaret Swayze Bursary, for a third orfourth year English student in financial need.Dr. Reimer is motivated by her time as anundergrad at the University.“I found that I had an extremely good preparation forgraduate studies at The University of Winnipeg,” saysDr. Reimer. Classroom learning, interactions with herprofessors, and assistance with grad schoolapplications contributed to her future success.She also gives because of her “sense of the times welive in and how critical a university education is forthe ongoing health of society.” Awarding scholarshipsand bursaries to students ensures more people receivea valuable university education.“The new presence of stand-alone MAs meant thatthere were no bursaries or scholarships dedicated tograduate students,” says Dr. Reimer. “It felt to me thatit needed some good attention.”The UWFA campaign and the launch of the new Masterof Arts in English with a Focus on Cultural Studies led herto commit $25,000 to English graduate awards. Shortly after,she directed $10,000 more, making her total commitment anoutstanding $35,000.Dr. Colin J.

She has donated many years of volunteerservice to countless organizations in Winnipeg andacross Canada. Marjorie and her husband Morleyhave contributed to many worthy causes and morerecently, have given a significant gift to TheUniversity of Winnipeg Community Learning Program."The Community Learning Program is a positive andtangible model that is working to meet the needsof the inner city," affirms Mrs. Blankstein. "Givingmembers of our community an opportunity to expandtheir knowledge and gain an education is not onlyof value to them, but is also of value to the cityof Winnipeg."The Community Learning Program provides innovative learning opportunities for various groupscurrently underrepresented in the University population, giving them access to University resources,and offering them public lectures, conferences and workshops. One of the initiatives – the WiiChiiwaakanak Learning Centre - aims to bridge the digital divide by providing Aboriginal and inner-Winnipeg students and community members of all ages access to computers, classes and meeting spaces.The Innovative Learning Centre, which focuses on closing the graduation gap, and the OpportunityFund, a new initiative to help youth dream big, are just two examples of the Community Learninginitiatives that are creating a vibrant, reflective and relevant learning environment at The Universityof Winnipeg. The partnership model is now part of the fabric of campus life at The Universityof Winnipeg.As this model evolves, the University will continue to cultivate reciprocal relationships and addresssocial, economic, cultural and environmental issues through its programs. It is without a doubt thatthe helping hand of Marjorie and Morley Blankstein will ensure the Community Learning Program’sobjectives are met.12

Led by a fundraisingcommittee made up of volunteer alumni and headed byHonorary Chair Dr. McFeetors, the campaign has sold52 rooms to date.Single rooms ($3,000), double rooms ($6,000), andtownhouses ($10,000 to $20,000) are still available.Plaques on the room doors and the McFeetors Halldonor wall commemorate donor contributions.Donors considering making a gift to this campaign cancontact AnnaMaria Toppazzini, at a.toppazzini@uwinnipeg.caor (204) 988-7121 to reserve a room.When Hazra Syne came to Canada from Trinidad in 1963, she chose The Universityof Winnipeg (known as United College at the time) for many reasons. The Universitywas small and friendly, she felt at home with other Trinidadian students here, andshe appreciated the convenience of having the women’s residence, Sparling Hall, close by.Hazra’s residence experience was fun and enriching. To this day, she stays in touchwith her roommate Sharon Holding, and cherishes the fact that she met Rae Khan,her future husband, here. The love of Mrs. Hazra Khan’s life was a resident ofGraham Hall, the University’s men’s residence.Hazra Khan’s positive experience is what led her to donate to the “Doors andWindows Campaign” today.“Living in residence, and studying at the University of Winnipeg, opened doors forme and set me on my life’s path,” reflects Mrs. Khan. “By contributing to the Doorsand Windows Campaign, I hope to assist future generations of residents of the newMcFeetors Hall, to have a comfortable, convenient environment in which to live,so that they can focus on their education and pursue their studies with peace of mind.”Mrs. Khan encourages others, particularly those who have lived in residence, todonate to this worthy cause and become part of the family of donors who areleaving a legacy.Mr. Peter Sim '79Mr. A.

Hal and Doug created a playfulrivalry on air and in print in an effort to sell the most theatre seats! Doug was the overall winnerwith a six-seat lead over his radio pal.Support was abundant from the University and the community. Winnipeg retailer AdvanceElectronics generously donated ad space on the Creswin media screen at Canwest Place, andradio host Ron Robinson from CKUW offered advertising space during his weekly show.Letters were sent to 600 theatre alumni requesting donations and support for the project. Inan effort to strengthen the results of this appeal the Theatre Faculty engaged in a friendlycompetition to sell seats by making follow up phone calls to alumni and friends of the department.The final tally? One hundred and twenty-five seats plus additional donations adding up to over$63,000 raised toward the Canwest Centre for Theatre and Film.The first seats will be ordered and installed in early 2010.A special thank you to the many donors whose generosity will go a long way in helping ourTheatre Students achieve their dreams!16

Anthony Allan Work EnvironmentsThe University of Winnipeg’s Canwest Centre for Theatreand Film’s theatre seat campaign has benefitted frommany individual donors, but Winnipeg businesses havebeen eager to help as well. One of those businesses isAnthony Allan Work Environments. The office furniturecompany and University of Winnipeg vendor generouslydonated $3,000 to the campaign in November 2008. At$500 each, the company has “purchased” a grand totalof six seats.Anthony Allan owner Phillip Hornby likens The Universityof Winnipeg’s continuing infrastructure and academicdevelopment to a “rebirth” of the University anddowntown Winnipeg. This was his inspiration to give.“It’s fantastic,” says Hornby. “We’re just excited to helpand to be part of something that’s really big and excitingin Winnipeg.”In particular, a gift to the theatre seat campaign wasa good way for Hornby to pay tribute to his family’s loveof theatre and to support an arts community that’sunparalleled in Canada. The donation is also a way topay homage to the founders of Anthony Allan WorkEnvironments, Wayne Anthony Guidolin and Bob AllanMcCorrister, by ensuring that they will always have aseat with their names on it in the Canwest Centre forTheatre and Film.“The gift is a means for their legacy to live on,”says Hornby.The Jewish Foundation of ManitobaThe Nettie & Harvey Pollack Fund at The JewishFoundation of Manitoba gave their support to theCanwest Centre for Theatre and Film’s Fall Seat Salewith the ‘purchase’ of a $500 seat in December 2009. Inrecognition of their thoughtful contribution, an inscribedplaque will be placed on a seat in the new theatre andtheir name will be placed on the theatre’s donor wall.Ms Caroline Harkinsand Ms Patty Hawkins,Department of Theatreand Film17Generosity SpringsFrom the HeartRaising her young family in the earlyseventies, Caroline Harkins sought waysto entertain her children and introducethem to good theatre, where ideas cameto life. Over the years, she and her broodattended many productions atThe University of Winnipeg.“We always tried to get seats as closeto the front as possible, where you cansee and hear clearly, and feel the vibe,”asserts Caroline. “My children wereexposed to the theatre when they werevery young, and I am sure thoseexperiences assisted in shaping theminto adults who have a zest and love forlife.” With that much appreciation forThe University of Winnipeg TheatreDepartment, it’s no wonder Carolinedecided to donate to the recentTheatre Seat Campaign.On a recent visit to the new CanwestCentre for Theatre and Film, Carolinereminisced about the many amazingplays they saw; plays such as HappyBirthday Wanda June by Kurt Vonnegut,or Peer Gynt by Bertolt Brecht. Later, intheir teenage years, Caroline’s daughtersacted in a few productions, whichmade the experience thatmuch more enjoyable.When asked about her generousdonation to The University of WinnipegTheatre Department, Caroline would onlycomment that generosity springs fromthe heart. It is evident that CarolineHarkins has found a lot of heart inThe University of Winnipeg TheatreDepartment, and in the Universityas whole.THANK YOU DONORS!2009-2010Corporations, Foundations & Organizations3-Phase Electrical Ltd.Ad In Inc.AESESAikins MacAulay & ThorvaldsonAngus Reid FoundationArrowhead Development CorporationAsper Foundation Inc.Assoc.of Universities & Colleges of Can.Balmoral Hall SchoolBank of MontrealBetter Air Manufacturing Ltd.Birchwood Automotive GroupBison TransportBlackstone Legal Management PartnershipBlennerhassett Family FoundationBlue Cross of ManitobaBMO Employee Charitable FoundationBockstael Construction Ltd.Boom Done NextBornhorst Mechanical Inc.Boston PizzaBoys & Girls Clubs of WinnipegBoys and Girls Clubs of CanadaBoys and Girls Clubs of Winnipeg Inc.Broadview Networks Inc.Brokenhead River Community Foundation Inc.C.P.

FORMER STUDENT GIVES BACK TO THE UNIVERSITYIrene Sanderson has come full circle. A former student and award recipientat The University of Winnipeg, she now volunteers her time on the GiftPlanning Committee, and in so doing, assists in ensuring future studentswill receive awards in perpetuity.Irene’s involvement with The University of Winnipeg began with arewarding experience while she undertook a Bachelor of Arts degreemajoring in Philosophy and Developmental Studies. She loved that theUniversity was so global in perspective and inclusive, opening their doorsto all, regardless of their situation. While studying part time at theUniversity, she worked full time with underprivileged single personsand families.She understood the challenges faced by students in similar circumstanceswho persevered to balance family responsibilities, work and school, veryoften on a very limited budget. She admired the determination of thesepeople and decided she would help in some way to assist them.Not long after graduation, Irene and her husband Stuart set up a fund atThe University of Winnipeg - the “Irene and Stuart Sanderson Bursary”- to help students who are struggling financially. Scholarships are notwithin reach of all students and Irene and Stuart chose to establish abursary fund as a way to reach students who are ineligible for scholarships.When Stuart passed away in 2007, Irene continued to contribute to thebursary, knowing that Stuart fully supported the goals set out for thisfund. She continues to fund the bursary to this day in Stuart’s memory.But Irene has found other ways to give back. Since 2002, she has beena regular volunteer at The University of Winnipeg. It is an alternativeway of giving back and encourages alumni members to participate.She spends a day a week at the Alumni office, searching for alumniaddresses and updating the University’s database. She also volunteersas a member of the Gift Planning Committee, chaired by Dr. JohnBulman. The Gift Planning Committee encourages gifts, both currentand deferred, to be made to the University, so that students maybenefit from a scholarship or a bursary for years to come.Because she has included a bequest to the University in her will,Irene is also a member of the Legacy Circle. Through the Gift PlanningCommittee, she encourages others to become a part of the LegacyCircle, ensuring a bright future for the University.Looking back on her educational training at the University of Winnipeg,Irene is thankful to the outstanding professors who inspired herstudies and very appreciative of the many awards she received.She fondly remembers Professor Bill Burns, the late Professor VictorShimizu and Professer Doug Skoog and credits their expertise inproviding her with such a positive experience at the University, anexperience that has prompted her to give back.Like the emblem of the Legacy Circle, the generous gifts from Ireneand her late husband Stuart have no end. The lasting result of abursary fund and a bequest will give access to education todisadvantaged students for generations to come.23
