A day that sheds light on the important work volunteers do will be celebrated around the world Dec. 5, including in Airdrie

The COVID-19 pandemic has derailed the 22nd annual Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train, but organizers will hold a virtual benefit concert and fundraiser in lieu.

There’s been a notable absence in the hallways of R.J. Hawkey Elementary School this year – for the first time in the school’s 40-year history, Karen Hennig is not on the staff list.

Twenty-five local seniors spending their holidays in isolation will have a box of gifts to open on Christmas morning, thanks to the efforts of the Nose Creek Swim Association (NCSA).

With the cancellation of most in-person events due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Airdrie Meals on Wheels (AMOW) is taking a creative approach to its holiday fundraising and awareness campaign.

After another year of escalating caseloads, the Airdrie and District Victims Assistance Society (ADVAS) is again asking the community for support through its annual 1:1 campaign.

The Alberta government’s new public health orders and business restrictions have resulted in the modification of this year’s Airdrie Festival of Lights (AFOL), which kicks off its landmark 25th season Dec. 1.

Those doing their Christmas shopping at New Horizon Mall this holiday season will be able to check out a new interactive art installation.

To say 2020 has been unprecedented is a severe understatement. No person, no family, no business and no organization has gone untouched by the effects of COVID-19.

Airdrie Economic Development’s Put Your Money Where Your Heart Is contest is set to wrap up Nov. 28, when two lucky contest winners will be drawn for $5,000 and $10,000 grand prize packages.
