Alberta Centennial Christmas

The celebration of Christmas in Alberta brings the whole community together like no other event in the year. Almost every school has a concert of some sort, which is usually the best attended event of the year. Church attendance at Christmas is also at its peak. The media features seasonal music and programming. To conclude our Centennial Year Alberta Centennial FACTS is encouraging schools, churches and communities to look at the Celebration of Christmas in the past 100 years. We are looking for old Christmas programs to reenact. Old Christmas Carols to be sung and any other information we can pass on the organizers of Christmas events so we can Celebrate 100 Years of Christmas. You can email david.Ibsen@ualberta.net to get more information or make a contribution.
