For firefighter Stephane Gaudet, it’s less about the specific cause and more about the act of giving back.

“When you see people that actually need this money, towards their cause and their personal life, it makes you feel a lot better just helping out that little bit.”

The fire department and Safeway have a long history of working together on charitable causes.

“It’s been a normal thing for Safeway to team up with different organizations to come together,” said Kevin Giesbrecht, the first assistant manager at the Prince Albert Safeway. “We’re very lucky to have these guys for the Special Olympics.”

The Prince Albert Safeway is the number one Safeway for donations, and Giesbrecht believes they will be number one in Canada.

“I think it’s a very prideful thing for this city that they’ve become number one for donations,” Giebrecht said. “I think it speaks a lot of the Prince Albert community.”
