Sept. 14, 2019 – Greta Waples, one of the organizers of the event, spoke to CBC Manitoba’s Ismaila Alfa on Up to Speed on Friday, her two-year sobriety anniversary. “I was essentially just getting through the day, doing what I had to do to get that next fix,” she recalled. “I was barely living, barely surviving.” But Waples’s story didn’t end there.
