On Dec. 8, Stonewall resident Kirsty Morrison received some bad news about someone very special to her. Around the same time, chief pub- lic health offi cer Dr. Brent Roussin announced that Manitobans would need to celebrate Christmas within their own homes in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19. “I realized I would not be able to spend the holidays with the people that I love most.

Fellow student and friend Abby Procter helped Bond deliver 173 back- packs and purses fi lled with toiletries and useful items to Siloam Mission, a shelter for the homeless in Winnipeg. Back Pack Give Back is a project Bond launched in 2019 in an effort to give back to the less fortunate. In 2019 he delivered 153 backpacks. This year, the backpacks were fi lled with donated toiletries as well as 144 pairs of new long underwear and 300 pairs of regular underwear for men and women, which was made possible through a grant from Foresters Finan- cial. Collecting was a little different this year and social media played a large role. “The response I had this year was amazing, and I think a big reason for that was because of the well-estab- lished online community that COVID has created,” Bond explained. TRIBUNE PHOTOS SUBMITTED “It made it a lot easier to reach out to Left photo: WCI student Lane Bond was thrilled with the amount of donations he received for his “Back Pack groups of people and spread the word Give Back” project.
