At Acadia, we are starting to collect for the 19 000 families in Winnipeg this year that won't have enough to eat over the winter holiday. We are working under the "One Big Day for Christmas" charity sponsored by QX 104 FM and Virgin Radio Hot 103 FM to support the Salvation Army and Siloam Mission.
