MEDICINE HAT, AB– A local charity is making sure everyone can have some Christmas fun this year, even at a social distance. CARO, or Canadians Reaching Out to the World’s Children Foundation, is hosting a virtual Christmas Party this Sunday Dec.13 at 4 p.m.

“This online Christmas party was a great idea we came up with to replace some of those missed staff Christmas parties, or church Christmas parties or whatever they might be. It’s an opportunity for families to come together, celebrate Christmas, have some music, some games, a visit with Santa, and some of those Christmas party type events” said CARO president Brock Hale.

The event will take place on Zoom and those interested in attending can register on Eventbrite, and a link will be sent by email to the event.

The virtual Christmas party is free to attend but donations are being accepted to help with some of CARO’s initiatives.
