Thank you for your support! 16RTTC It may have been a cold winter day in Winnipeg, but hearts were warmed by a special event hosted by Misericordia Health Centre Foundation last Dec. 1. To celebrate the 20 th anniversary of the Angel Squad, an annual Foundation fundraising event, 1,275 staff, area students and community members dressed as angels to break the Guinness World Record for the World's Largest Gathering of Angels. It was a number that soared past the former mark of 1,039 held by a group from Hauzenberg, Germany. The Misericordia Angels came in all sizes, decked out in white gowns and sporting halos and wings on the grounds of Mulvey School. Area schools such as Balmoral Hall, Booth College, École Léo-Rémillard, Kelvin High School, St. Mary's Academy, St. Paul's High School and Westgate Collegiate sent Angels as well! The accomplishment also kicked off last year's Angel Squad campaign. On Dec. 2 and 3, neighbourhood students, Misericordia staff and volunteers — our own Angels — stood along the Maryland Bridge in their heavenly outfits to collect donations from drivers. Angels were also seen collecting donations in Winnipeg Square and 201 Portage Ave. These generous gifts help the Foundation enhance patient and resident services and programs.
