Volunteers at the Christmas Cheer Depot in the Station Mall are on track to helping 2,000 families this holiday season

Around 40 volunteers are working hard at the Christmas Cheer Depot in the Station Mall as demand has grown substantially for local children and adolescents in need of toys, gifts, and other items.

Volunteers at the depot have been going the extra mile to individualize as many gifts as possible so that it’s specially made for the child and meets the criteria of what they asked for. Some ladies who don’t volunteer at the depot even sew on their own time and send them in to Christmas Cheer. “For five or six weeks, they’re 40-hour weeks for them,” he says. “We start meeting back in September, and the volunteers are working during the summer. There are 90-year-old women who have donated over 100 toques and other crocheted items.”

Savings World on Trunk Road is providing coupons towards second-hand skates for applicants who had requested them.

Ottawa Sooners cheer squad disbanded after text exchange with football team ownerThe Sooners cheerleading team disbanded in the aftermath of an \u0027offensive\u0027 text exchange with the team\u0027s new owner and football coach So the owner says that cheerleading girls primary purpose is to dress in skimpy outfits and are there for the amusement of the primarily male spectators. And this made them upset? What else could be the purpose of jumping and dancing in skimpy outfits in front of male audience? Sounds like a great idea, we do not need cheerleaders at football games anymore. I think the owner was just really worried about something catastrophic happening with one of the cheerleaders and being financially responsible for that.
