The Community Christmas Dinner is back on this year and will be take-out only.

 

Like past years, the dinner is free for everyone and there’s no vaccination requirement as residents can pick up their meals.

 

Terri-Lynn Turton, one of the organizers of the dinner, explains the significance of this staple event in the community.

 

“It’s important to have these dinners because it does bring the community together. Unfortunately we still can’t all be together but at least we can have full bellies and spread some holiday cheer. This year, we can at least eat in the homes with other people so come grab a few dinners and eat with your friends.”

 

Organizers are accepting both food and monetary donations, and they can be dropped off at A1 Financing and Loans by Thursday.

 

Pick-up for this year’s Community Christmas Dinner will be this Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m at Shaw Cable on 50 Selkirk Avenue.
