Gardewine’s Community Involvement

At Gardewine, we take pride in being more than just a transportation and logistics company; we are active and engaged members of the communities we serve. Through sponsorships, event participation, and direct donations, we support a wide range of causes across Manitoba and beyond. Our contributions help fund healthcare advancements, youth development, education, food security, amateur and professional sports, skilled trades training, and environmental conservation.

We participate annually in golf tournaments and galas that raise critical funds for hospitals, youth foundations, and local organizations, such as the Grace Hospital Gala, Ice Crystal Gala, Harvest Manitoba’s Empty Bowls, and the Winnipeg Jets Gala. We sponsor the reader board and timeout clock at Blue Bombers games, directly supporting amateur football programs across the province. We also contribute to grassroots causes, including the Christmas Cheer Board, Junior Achievement of Manitoba, Curling for Life Endowment Fund, and Manta Swim Club, among others.

Whether it’s through equipment donations, youth programming, cancer research, community events, or supporting veterans and agriculture societies, Gardewine is proud to invest in initiatives that make a lasting impact in the places we call home.
