A message from FACILITYCalgary publisher Mark Kolke.
We are pleased to celebrate our relationship with iGIFTsight - a Calgary-based Canadian charity with a Canada-wide mission; if you've not heard about iGIFTsight, we urge you to invest a few moments of your time - click on a link to the site. You'll learn there is an unmet need for vision service in our communities. Getting eye exams, treatment, glasses and other corrective actions is something most of us take for granted as something we have funds or a benefit program, or that services are available where we live.
