When it comes to community involvement and support, Westward Ford has excelled. The local automotive dealership held an event in support of the Neepawa Natives hockey team.

The event (Drive 4UR Community) was able to raise $3,220 for the team. Westward Ford sales manager Kevin Friesen said, “We are pleased with that number and the overall response from the community, It went very well.”  

Neepawa Natives team President Ken Waddell added, “The team is very happy about the Ford Drive 4UR community program. Westward Ford, Kevin and the staff were very generous to the Neepawa Natives. The players and team staff had a lot of fun visiting with our fans as they came out to test drive a new Ford car or truck. It was a really good day for the team and Westward. We can’t thank Westward enough for this opportunity.” 

The Westward lot was filled with team supporters test driving vehicles from Westward. For every test drive Ford gave the Natives $20. Vehicles available included a 2017 Ford Fiesta SE, 2017 Ford Escape and a 2016 Ford Mustang 2.3litre Ecoboost, with many more models to choose from.
