While many Regina residents were staying in to avoid the cold last week, one man was out and about helping boost vehicles.
Corie Rempel, of Rempel Contracting, successfully boosted 84 vehicles over five days, raising money for a good cause in the process.
“Well, it just came to me Monday morning, the idea,” said Rempel. “Then after discussions with my marketer, we decided to go with the warm up shelter, just to make sure that we could help as many people as possible, staying warm and getting where they need to go.”
Rempel raised $1,681 for the Awasiw- A Place of Hope warming shelter, which he hopes to drop off Tuesday.
REGINA A local contractor is offering free boosts to any vehicles that need it in Regina, while also raising money for the All Nations Hope Network. Corie Rempel, owner of Rempel Contracting, is asking people to donate what they can after receiving a boost. He plans to give all of what he raises to the All Nations Hope Network s new warm up shelter, Awasiw - The Place of Hope. “Trying to boost all these vehicles around the city, and just get them going so that they can go about their business,” Rempel said. “It’s super cold, and there is a lot of need out there in the community.”
