Description

What if the best gifts this Christmas aren’t wrapped in paper, but in kindness? Johan Heinrichs shares uplifting stories of care in communities across Canada—from the dignity restored by a pop-up toy store in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, to a teen-led Giving Tree Project spreading generosity in Riverview. With a dash of neighbourhood humour in Warman’s Christmas lights ‘ditto’ rivalry and snow angels clearing sidewalks in Central Alberta, this conversation offers heartfelt examples of ordinary people showing extraordinary care. It’s a reminder that hope is alive, celebrated in everyday moments of presence, laughter, and compassion.
