McHappy Day 2019 was a resounding success, according to local owner Brett O’Meara.

 

“It was our most successful day ever.    When I talk about success we had a record number of people out. So we had over 27-hundred transactions. That represents probably in the neighbourhood of 5-thousand people when you talk about families. We raised $8,000 to go towards Ronald McDonald Charities in Manitoba.”

 

McHappy Day is a fund raising initiative that takes place the first Wednesday in May all across Canada.

 

O’Meara says the money raised here is earmarked for use in Manitoba.

 

“That includes the house for sick children and their families. And, as well, as the hospital room which is more like a wing of the hospital where parents and children can go and take some time."

 

He added it provides “a real sense of community and fellowship.”
