PHILIPSBURG: - Posh Productions Incorporated (POSH), finally presents prizes to winners of the 2019 pageants. Unable to recover financial investments made to produce the pageants and the lack of sufficient sponsorship, POSH found itself in a very negative position with the delivery of prizes to the winners of the 2019 Carnival King and Queen pageants.
Despite efforts to raise funds through various initiatives, ultimately the non-profit foundation could not garner sufficient revenue to complete its obligations at an earlier time. Furthermore, with a large percentage of patrons who attended the shows in the Festival Village entering using season passes, the foundation gained little success at the gate through door sales. This significantly contributed to its negative financial position and ultimately bankrupted the foundation.
Calgary leans on technology to continue mission December 12, 2020
As much as the current landscape enables, Calgary Bishop William McGrattan is keen on being a vibrant presence this Christmas season by engaging in key charity and goodwill campaigns.
McGrattan himself was a central participant in one of these campaigns, the Calgary Catholic Education Foundation’s (CCEF) inaugural fundraising telethon, which was livestreamed Nov. 17. In his keynote address, McGrattan underscored the importance of Catholic education.
“The most important message I wanted to convey was that Catholic education is a gift that we cannot take for granted,” said McGrattan. “Many people in Alberta sacrifice for this education system. We need it to continue in this same spirit especially during this pandemic where our teachers have been challenged and are responding in often heroic ways.”
