How did it happen?? There are less than 30 some days until Christmas ... eeeeek!

 

Our very good friends at Big Rig Brewery have made Candlelighters their official charity of choice....Yay!!  It's a great spot, if you go be sure to get your Christmas ball for Candlelighters up on their Tree of Hope.

 

Many of you are probably wondering about the Candlelighters Christmas Party, details are below.  I trust that Santa's elves here in Ottawa are working hard on making sure it's a fun time for everyone.

 

Tamsin and Jason were at Cheo last week dropping of resource binders and having opportunity to meet with some patients and families.  Watch for us and come and say hello.  It's always nice to put faces to names.
