Saskatoon motor magnate Vaughn Wyant and his VWAG Group of Companies will be honoured by Ford Motor Company for their philanthropic work at the 2017 National Automobile Dealers Association Convention and Expo in New Orleans.

Wyant’s company was one of six dealerships — three American and three international — selected from among 12,000 worldwide for the massive motor company’s “Salute to Dealers” award, which recognizes those that give time and money to their communities.

“I try as hard as I can to make the community better than when I found it,” said Wyant, who grew up in Saskatoon and now runs several businesses, including Jubilee Ford and multiple other high-end car dealerships in Saskatchewan and British Columbia.

Over the last several years, Wyant and his family have helped raise more than $2 million for the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan, and given $1 million to the Remai Modern Art Gallery and $500,000 to the University of Saskatchewan’s new rink project.
