JUNE 11, 2022 | give Manitoba 13 Leave a Legacy Your bequest will make a lasting impact on the lives of our students at The University of Winnipeg and The University of Winnipeg Collegiate. Bunny Gutnik, Planned Giving Officer 204.789.1471 b.gutnik@uwinnipeg.ca uwinnipeg.ca/planned-giving When someone loses their sight, their life can change in many ways. They may have to give up their job or turn over their driver's license. They'll have to learn to adapt to doing everyday tasks without the help of sight. And they'll need to come to terms with the emotional challenges of sight loss as sunshine, colours, and the faces of their loved ones begin to fade from view. Give to a better future Your bequest today can change someone else's tomorrow You can help. By making a gift in your will to the CNIB Foundation, you'll ensure people in your community have the support they need to move forward with confidence after losing their sight, and continue to live the lives they choose.

Since Covid began, Agape Table served over 250,000 meals to those in need. Leaving a Lasting Legacy with Dr. Michael Hadley B y definition, Dr. Michael Hadley is a new donor. Having helped establish The Rev. Dr. Wilfred C. Lockhart Memorial Scholarship in the Humanities through a generous bequest, it would seem to some at a glance this act of kindness represents the start of Dr. Hadley's relationship with The University of Winnipeg — rather than the culmination of many working years spent in service of our campus, students and community. Originally from British Columbia, Dr. Hadley moved to Winnipeg in the late 1960s to teach at the recently chartered University of Winnipeg as a member of the German Studies Department. "I especially enjoyed teaching during those early days at a collegial and burgeoning young university serving a cosmopolitan range of students," said Dr. Hadley. "I particularly appreciated the sense of community and purpose that gave us room to explore together and have fun with learning." It was during this period that Dr. Hadley met Rev. Dr. Wilfred Lockhart. A true leader who helped guide United College's transformation from a component college to a fully chartered and independent university, and a man who "fostered collegiality at every step" — Rev. Dr. Lockhart was instrumental in building the campus and post-secondary experience countless students have since come to love during their time at UWinnipeg. As an endowed fund, the scholarship that bears Rev. Dr. Lockhart's name will both honour his legacy and help support UWinnipeg students for years to come. Through this generous bequest, Dr. Hadley becomes UWinnipeg's latest member of The Legacy Circle — a collection of donors who play an essential role in securing the future of The University of Winnipeg and investing in the next generation of students through their participation in leaving a legacy gift to The University of Winnipeg Foundation.
