Happy holidays.
In the spirit of the season, we’re accepting non-perishable food donations for the food bank.
In Crescent Beach, we’re collecting at the Camp Alex office, at Joyce Mason Daycare on McBride and at the Beachhouse Daycare on Sullivan. We also have collection boxes at the Kensington Prairie Daycare in Morgan Crossing and at our Vine Avenue Youth and Family Centre in White Rock.
• Alex House has a new website, with a new look and style and lots of useful features.
You can now register for programs online, look at program and event calendars, contribute comments to the blog and, if you’re interested in facility rentals, check availability and dates.

• Just a reminder that the Alex House office will be closed at 4 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 17, then will be closed for the holidays from Friday, Dec. 21 to Wednesday, Jan. 3.
