Several Christmas events planned for downtown North Battleford
With Christmas approaching, North Battleford’s downtown’s business association is planning several holiday-themed events for the season.
Shelley Bernier, executive director of the downtown North Battleford’s Business Improvement District (BID), said the John Paul II (JP II) Christmas Elves are back for the holidays. The elves will be available to help decorate store fronts and assist store owners.
“This was a tremendous success last year and all the youngsters who took part absolutely loved this project,” she said. “We will have around 30 Grade 8 students and teachers from JP II taking part every Tuesday and Thursday morning leading up to Christmas ready to help out with whatever you need done.”
Bernier added the downtown association will give a donation to the John Paul II Collegiate Mission team’s upcoming trip to Africa this year.
