Excitement Returns
This design was inspired by my experience at The Cube during Nuit Blanche last fall. In much the same way, my piece connects to the work of the Toba Centre for Children and Youth. Just as the city’s energy and revitalization bring communities together, the Toba Centre provides a supporting and nurturing environment for children affected by abuse or violence. By celebrating vibrant togetherness, both my work and Toba Centre highlight the strength and unity that define us as a community.

Bison

Meridian Manufacturing Inc. is proud to support the Bison on the Boulevard initiative in partnership with Toba Centre. Toba Centre provides a safe space for children and families affected by abuse—an undeniably worthy cause. The bison represents resilience and strength—values that align with Toba Centre’s objective to provide safety and support to abuse victims. It is also a symbol of the prairies, a region Meridian proudly serves and calls home. As a business with a significant presence in Manitoba, Meridian believes in strengthening the communities where we live and work. By sponsoring a bison, Meridian hopes to raise awareness about the work of Toba Centre. Every child deserves a future filled with hope, and we are pleased to play a part in making that possible here in Manitoba.”
AT THE HEART OF THE STORM, YOU’LL FIND
A place to be heard, helped, & healed
For children and youth who have experienced abuse, Toba Centre provides wraparound support. Our team of professionals from law enforcement, child protection, medical, mental health, and other support services work together from one location to help young people and their families throughout their healing journey.
Cows run away from the storm while the buffalo charges toward it – and gets through it quicker. Whenever I’m confronted with a tough challenge, I do not prolong the torment, I become the buffalo.
