Representatives of the Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund and the Armstrong Family stop for a picture after discussing the Armstrong’s donation to the fund-raising drive to relocate families from war-torn Ukraine to the Parkland.

For those arriving in Winnipeg from Ukraine, the Armstrongs will provide lodging at the Best Western Plus Hotel in Headingly and following the trip to Dauphin will provide lodging at the local Super 8 Hotel.

“When they get to Winnipeg it shows them that somebody cares and when they get here it shows them that somebody cares here, too.

It was just the right thing to do,” Harvey Armstrong said. As well, through their Dauphin Decorating business, the family is providing materials for renovations and upgrades to the homes in which the relocated families will be living.
