Since 2012, the Bow Valley Elves have been coordinating with the high school students and the community at large to connect with seniors at Christmas time.

COVID-19 UPDATE: Elves program for 2021: In light of current events we will only have a tree with tags at Rusticana Grocery. The high school tree is only available to students and staff at CCHS. We will also have many gift requests on line on Signup Genius. Please check our Facebook page for the link or click on the link below “View 2021 Gift Requests”. Thank you for participating.

This year the Elves are giving you a few choices how to bring holidays to our beloved Seniors in the Bow Valley. A tree has been placed inside Rusticana Grocery. You get to choose a tag from the tree, purchase a gift and bring it back with the gift request tag, wrapped or in a decorative bag. The other option is click on view 2021 gift requests, scroll through who you’d like to buy for/what, signup, include a note what it is, your name and drop off. Deadline is Dec.10, 2021.
- Rusticana Grocery, Canmore – for the general public

For those on fixed incomes, Christmas can be a stressful time; extra expenses, but no extra money. Receiving a lovely gift is a real blessing and warms the heart knowing there are caring, generous folks in our community. Thank you!”
