was a world class hammer and discus
thrower.” — Toronto Star. Price:

Our ‘Best ‘Wisfies to aíí AíanitoBans
tfiis ‘Mofidaij Season

As we begin the holiday season, we are
delighted to have this opportunity to
extend our best wishes to all
Manitobans.
Special commemorative celebrations
and observances are held by many
ethnocultural groups during this festive
season. These are an important and
integral aspect of life in our community.
They symbolize the sharing between
cultures, which enriches each and every
one of us.
Traditionally in these festivities, we seek
to rekindle old friendships, rejoice in new
ones and offer wishes of health,
happiness and goodwill to all.
It is our wish that the spirit of peace,
goodwill and understanding light the way
for every Manitoban during this season,
and throughout the year ahead.
