One Generous City
Over at The World According to Ace, Ace Burpee posted about the massive success of the Hot 103 “I Heart Haiti” t-shirt campaign: ”It’s not out of the question to think that we may have created a $100,000 charity t–shirt. Keep it going. We’re on board. This is a great town.”
Very cool, and also not surprising. In December ’09, the Fraser Institute’s Generosity Index ranked Manitoba as the most generous province in Canada — for the 10th year in a row! Makes me proud to call this province home.

No surprises about Manitoba being most generous in Canada, as I remember fundraising for many good causes. Lots of community spirit still. And thanks for most interesting report about comparing Americans and Canadians in their charitable giving. We could learn a thing or 2 from generous neighbours to the south.
