It’s a Winter Wonderland at the Nord-Bridge Seniors Centre and holiday cheer was on full display. Over 40 trees were decked out in full Christmas decorations for the 3rd annual event at the organization. As BCN’s Micah Quinn explains, officials from Nord-Bridge asked for donations of non-perishable food items to be distributed to the Interfaith Food Bank and all of the trees will also be given out to those in need.

Sometimes getting a clean slate is all someone needs to be able to beat drugs or alcohol. The Fresh Start Recovery Centre has helped people overcome their addictions for 30 years now. In Lethbridge they have 73 beds available to help out those seeking support. The group held an open house on Friday to welcome members of the community to hear more about who they are. The operations manager of the organization, Tony Kokol, is a recovered addict himself and relayed his testimonial of overcoming addiction by coming to the Recovery Centre 15 years ago. Officials from the Recovery Centre say they incorporate a 14-16 week recovery program that includes counseling, group facilitated treatment, fitness and balancing nutritious meals.

As the mercury continues to drop it is feeling more and more like Old Man Winter has a grip on our city. In response, Lethbridge City Council approved funding of $325,670 to be allocated to Streets Alive Mission for an Overnight Comfort Centre. It will allow our city’s most vulnerable to come in from the cold 24 hours a day. The centre will not operate as a sleeping shelter. The vote at City Council to move forward with the funding was close, however, at 5-3. As BCN’s Micah Quinn explains, this has created quite a stir here in our city.

Officials from the Angel Tree campaign in Lethbridge are making one last big push for toy donations. Sparkling gifts are still needed to bring Christmas cheer to kids and families in need.
