Operation Christmas Child a success with almost 1100 boxes
Operation Christmas Child collected nearly 1100 boxes this year for children in Latin America and Ukraine.
Lyle Karasiuk, director of public affairs for Parkland Ambulance, was thrilled with the number.
“We certainly appreciate all of the community support,” he said. “Everyone from those who made just one or two boxes, or churches, community groups, and the staff from a local workplace who all pitched in and made 50 or 60 boxes.”
This was the sixth year Prince Albert’s Parkland Ambulance has been a collection and distribution centre for the project.
