WINNIPEG It started as a way to ensure Winnipeggers in COVID-19 isolation got healthy meals and were supported. It ended up leaving a final memory to last a lifetime. Paulette Cote, her husband Peter Czehryn, and other family and friends have been running the Winnipeg Soup Fairies, using their cooking and baking skills to bring soup and some smiles to people who need them. “We feel privileged that we are able to serve these people because that allows us to go out into the community and meet people,” said Czehryn. “It’s a growing thing. We deal with one person, and we deliver soup, but it extends to their family and friends.”
