Royal Auto Group Donated $25,000 for Yorkton Brick Mill's Project

The Ortynsky Family and Royal Auto Group proudly support the restoration of the Yorkton Brick Mill. On November 24, 2021, Terry and Linda presented the $25,000 cheque donation to help fund the construction of The Interpretative Station. This station will house displays and educational materials, archival documents and meeting spaces to make the mill a gathering place that welcomes visitors and residents, and tells the story of more than 125 years of Yorkton's and our region's history. 

With the business being situated in Yorkton for years, this is Royal Auto Group's way of giving back to the community.

Together, “We Scared Hunger”

Royal Auto Group’s “We Scare Hunger” Food Drive turned out to be a huge success. This year, over 650 kilograms of non-perishable food items were donated, and this was made possible with the support of the schools in Yorkton. 

“We Scare Hunger” is an annual food drive initiated by Ford of Canada. However, because of the pandemic, this program was discontinued last year. Dealer Principal Terry Ortynsky shared the idea of organizing this event once again, and Jane Jalmanzar from our Marketing Team reached out to the elementary schools in Yorkton. Five schools - St. Michael’s, St. Paul’s, St. Alphonsus, Yorkdale Central and Columbia School - immediately confirmed their participation. Collection boxes were placed at both Royal Ford and Royal Honda and the respective schools from October 25 to 29. The Yorkton Nursery School Co-operative, upon learning about the food drive, joined in and brought several boxes of food donations to Royal Ford.

“It was really heartwarming to see the kids, parents and teachers all participating. Everybody wanted to contribute to a worthwhile cause. The children really learned how to help so it was great,” says Terry. 

The food donations were presented to the local food bank, The Soup Haven, on Tuesday, November 9. Marilyn Dyck, Program Director of The Soup Haven said that the donations will be used for their lunch program that feeds over 250 school children a day.

Royal Auto Group looks forward to supporting this event again next year.
