While most of us shiver through the winter, longing for the warm long spring days ahead.. some local volunteers are thinking ahead to next Christmas already. In 2018 the Red Deer Christmas Bureau helped over 1000 children and their families celebrate Christmas with gifts and a full Christmas dinner, ensuring everyone can create beautiful memories at this special time of year.

The Christmas Bureau is a 100% Volunteer Based Organization. And the volunteering is year round. In fact, right now they’re putting a crew together to help with something they call the “Doll House Program”. If you like the idea of giving back, and especially if you’d like to provide a little person with a special doll or barbie next Christmas, please contact the Red Deer Christmas Bureau. The Doll House volunteers are gathering Monday’s and Wednesdays in the morning at 9 am. Here’s a comment from Teresa Kutynek, Director of the Red Deer Christmas Bureau Society. Contact Teresa at 403-347-2210 for more information.

If you have some time this fall, consider another program offered by the Red Deer Christmas Bureau… The Baby Basket program provides hampers for expectant moms.. and new moms. Watch this video for more information.

Good chance most people don’t think of dentists and fun at the same time. Well then most people haven’t met Dr Isaac Day yet. The Innisfail dentist and father of 6 certainly knows how to have a good time. Day and pro dancer Jinelle Themig nearly brought the roof down at the Cambridge Conference Centre.. especially when they shocked the crowd with one of the riskiest tricks we’ve ever seen at this competition. Bet you can’t watch this just once. It’s too much fun!

My Story…

A competitive fundraiser for a great cause? I’m all in!
I am the founder of Day Dental and we have the best dental team and patients ever. With their support, we will keep the Mirror Ball trophy where it belongs…in Innisfail!
While Innisfail has been home for my family and me for the last 7 years, I was born and raised in Edmonton where I completed my Bachelor of Medical Science and my Doctor of Dental Surgery. After working in Edmonton, my wife and I packed up our kids and moved to Central Alberta.
I enjoy different experiences, personally and professionally, from working in a cosmetically driven dental practice in Edmonton to being the dentist at the Bowden Prison. When a new experience presents itself, the answer is YES. So when the opportunity to participate in the Sheraton Celebrity Dance Off presented itself, I knew I couldn’t turn it down.
I am looking forward to helping this great cause, and to trying something new and exciting, and most definitely out of my comfort zone!

Miss. G’s 7-5 class from St. Thomas Aquinas Middle School completed their Almsgiving Bake Sale Thursday with a total amount of $2736 raised for the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre!

They were so excited to share their news of how much they raised since starting back in March! Every Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday through out lent, the 7-5’s would bring in treats that they made at home. They sold the goodies to the rest of the student body at lunch to help raise funds to donate to the Centre.

Thank you to Miss Goranson for putting this all on for the CACAC, and to the 7-5 class for being apart of this and wanting to help other kiddos – you are amazing!
