We’re thrilled to share a wonderful community initiative happening this holiday season!

Western Financial Group – Lloydminster has chosen to support Border City Connects through a special year-end fundraiser. Their team will be collecting donations from the public to help purchase safe, reliable transportation for seniors and individuals with disabilities in our community.

As part of the fundraiser, anyone who donates will have the opportunity to write their name on a Border City Connects van ornament, which will be proudly displayed in their office and on their Christmas tree. Western Financial Group will be tracking every contribution and ensuring that 100% of the funds go directly toward rides for those who depend on our services.

In January, Western Financial Group will present the total amount raised to Border City Connects—and then host a “Surprise and Delight Day,” where riders will be treated to complimentary transportation thanks to the generosity of community donors.

We are deeply grateful for Western Financial Group’s commitment to supporting accessible transportation and to everyone who contributes to this beautiful initiative. Together, we’re helping Connect Our Community! 🚐💙

One year ago, our community lost a remarkable leader, mentor, and friend — Glenn Fagnan. Glenn moved to Lloydminster in 1989 and spent decades giving back through Rotary, The Olive Tree, KidSport, and especially Border City Connects. He had a heart for the most vulnerable — our seniors, children, and those facing mobility challenges. Glenn didn’t just support causes; he inspired people to take action. His legacy lives on in every ride given, every hand extended, and every life touched by Border City Connects. 💛
