The Heritage Ball Fundraising Dinner honouring and celebrating the contributions of 

Bill and Shirley Loewen to the heritage community will be held 

Saturday, October 4, 2014 at the Fort Garry Hotel.

All proceeds from this event will go to support the work of Heritage Winnipeg. Our mission is to promote and encourage the conservation of historic/heritage structures and sites and attend to those matters which enhance and complement this purpose. Emphasis will be on restoration, revitalization, preservation, education and advocacy, in order to augment the cultural inheritance of the community, with consideration for pertinent logistics and feasibility. Heritage Winnipeg is responsible for numerous events and programs, including the city-wide Doors Open Winnipeg and the Annual Preservation Awards. Fundraising events such as this dinner help Heritage Winnipeg to continue these valuable contributions to the community and city of Winnipeg.

Bill & Shirley Loewen: A Lifetime of Support

 

Philanthropists, Advocates, Volunteers and Community Leaders

Over the decades, Bill and Shirley Loewen have worked tirelessly to advocate, educate, and provide financial support for the rehabilitation of our built heritage. This includes their immense contributions and support to the Millennium Centre (former Bank of Commerce) at 389 Main Street, the Telpay building (former Canada Permanent Building/COMCHEQ) at 298 Garry Street, and for their ongoing contributions to the St. Norbert community for over 30 years, including the St. Norbert Arts and Cultural Centre (SNAC). Moreover, their support has provided the building blocks for many non-profit organizations to continue their mission and providing much needed sustainability for the heritage and arts community.

As part of the Loewens’ legacy, there is a vision to see the Millennium Centre transformed into a Heritage and Arts Centre in the Exchange District, a national historic site. The Heritage Winnipeg office and resource centre would relocate to this space, while the main floor would act as year-round public space and downtown hub for everyone to enjoy, providing important information, workshops, presentations, and exhibits, etc. The success of this heritage project, and its long term sustainability, would confirm that the Loewens understand how ongoing support can help contribute to and transform a downtown, a historic district, and a community.

Below is a sampling of the many projects which the Loewens have supported over the years:

The Millennium Centre

Telpay

Behavioural Health Centre

La Boucherie (St. Norbert)

McDougall House

Ox Cart House

Place Saint-Norbert

St. Norbert Arts Centre (SNAC)

Trappist Monastery

Urban Circle Training Centre

Art City
