Prior to the 2024 holiday break, the University of Winnipeg Foundation took a creative approach to ensure it could complete its annual holiday card delivery. The Canada Post strike meant that the foundation’s cards could not be delivered to donors in time for the holidays. To ensure donors felt appreciated, UWinnipeg Foundation President Javier Schwersensky asked students, staff, and his own family members to help hand-deliver the cards to donors in Winnipeg. The foundation also partnered with the charity Good Foot Delivery to deliver cards in the Toronto area. Schwersensky noted that he included personal notes when he could and signed each card. “It’s a fun thing to do,” said Schwersensky.
