member profile That’s the Ticket! CAA discounts help entertain—and protect— a Winnipeg family By Paul Gallant One Of CarOlyn eva MeadOws’ bestloved childhood memories was going with her grandmother to Rainbow Stage in Winnipeg. “That was my only theatre experience growing up,” says Meadows. “I remember loving it—the whole event, not just the performance. We’d visit Kildonan Park and go for a nice dinner before the show.” When her daughter, Emily, displayed a flair for the arts, even appearing in a Rainbow Stage production, Meadows’ family became regular patrons of local theatres. “Even my 75-year-old mother still loves to go,” she says. Emily Meadows and grandmother Cecily Phelan As their love of theatre has grown, so too has their ticket budget—until Meadows discovered CAA member discounts for arts and entertainment. “Winnipeggers love a good deal and I’m no different!” With discounted tickets, the family sees most productions that visit Winnipeg—and even some they wouldn’t normally catch. “I’ll try things based on discounts,” she says. She and her husband recently visited Enigma Escapes, a puzzle game where participants search a locked room for clues that will help them “escape.” “It was so much fun, but I don’t think we would have tried it without the CAA offer.” CAA discounts aren’t all fun and games though. Last winter, the family found themselves dealing with a home break-in. After that event, they revamped their old alarm system, which hadn’t been working at the time. Meadows’ CAA membership came in handy once again: Members save 50 percent on ProTELEC system upgrades—a discount of up to $300. “That’s huge savings on something we were doing anyway,” she says. “That alone will pay for my membership for a couple of years.” From the theatre stage to home security, CAA helps Manitoba families save.
