Greg Sokil and Sokil Transport has been a long supporter of our run that is held in my daughter Jessie McQuitty's memory. Rob Sokil was instrumental in ensuring Run for the Lung was a success each year. We really appreciate how Greg has stepped in to not only keep Rob's memory alive at our run but the continued financial support as we raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis research. Sokil Trucking is a true "community" company.

Sokil provides outstanding service to their clients. They never hesitate to help when in need. Sokil has done a great job in supporting London Drugs in making community deliveries. They were quick to help and offer support to London Drugs when making a supply delivery to the Citadel Mews seniors complex in St. Albert after their devastating fire. Thanks for being great partners in helping the community!

As a recipient of this campaign, I can attest to the joy and happiness these gifts bring at Christmas time for the residents at Sherwood Care. Thank you Sokil for helping us to enhance the Christmas season for our
