Rocky Mountain Outlook: Elves Perform Good Deeds Once Again

January 12, 2017 By Christmas Spirit Campaign

Bow Valley Elves

For the past five Christmases, elves have been running around the Bow Valley committing good deeds for seniors.

Christine DeSoto, owner of Rusticana Grocery and founder of the program, got the idea from her sister who has a similar program in Burlington, Ont. Starting off by herself, DeSoto ended up joining forces with the Bow Valley Christmas Spirit Campaign to reach out to more people.

I thought it was such a cool idea. I just thought I’d try it, so I called the seniors lodge to see if they were interested and they were very interested,” said DeSoto. “Some people said it was the best Christmas they’ve had in years. Some said it was the best Christmas ever.”

Annually, we directly support 1,500 people in the Bow Valley.

The BVCSC was started by the Canmore Lioness Club. By 1997 a volunteer committee established the organization and by 2000 we received our society status.

Since our inception hundreds of families have benefited from the generosity of others and learned that Christmas wishes do come true!
