From the goodness of their own hearts, the Ste. Rose Dental Centre brightened up a lot of peoples days on Friday.
They were "Paying It Forward" around a few communities in the Parkland, which included buying peoples groceries, gas, and various other things around town.
"I was personally inspired by the Broadway musical called "Come from Away" which was all about the planes having to land in Newfoundland during 9/11," said David Wolle, Dentist at the Ste. Rose Dental Centre. "The town of a couple thousand came together and provided so many things for all of the people on the airplanes, just simply from the goodness of their own heart. Then, when the people went back to where they were from... they did the same thing,"
"So, we went to McCreary, Laurier, Ebb & Flow, and Ste. Rose and we just saw people buying things, and we bought them for them," he added. "We were making people smile all day, and it just made us feel good."
David talks about some of the reactions the workers got from the public.
"We got lots of hugs," said Wolle. "Usually, we were standing by the cash register and we told the people what we were doing. To start, they were confused and didn't really believe us... but then when we paid, they were all so happy. It was just a great day."
Overall, they spent about $1500 yesterday, and they plan on doing it again.
"We definitely plan to do this thing every year," said Wolle. "We called it the Ste. Rose Dental Centre Giving Back Day."
