Winnipeg Free Press humour columnist Doug Speirs and Fort Rouge — East Fort Garry Councillor Jenny Gerbasi were all smiles prior to last night’s CEO Sleepout. More than 50 CEOs and community leaders spent the night outside in the courtyard at 201 Portage Avenue. The event, organized by the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ, raised funds and awareness for homelessness and poverty issues in the city through the Change for the Better program. The final tally for the evening was $111,595. (STAN MILOSEVIC / CHRISD.CA)
