Greenwood Neighbourhood Place Society

would like to say a huge Thank You to the

Sundre and to our Community for

supporting the 2018 Smile Cookie

Campaign. We were grateful to be the

recipient this year

We Scare Hunger Every October 31st, thousands of young people take action to scare local hunger and poverty by trick-or-treating for non-perishable food items instead of just candy. They not only make a tangible contribution to their communities, but also become knowledgeable advocates for change. This Halloween, students from River Valley School will be collecting donations for: Sundre Santa’s 2018. More Info: Call River Valley School at 403-638-3939 & ask for Tanya Braybrook, Michelle Hindbo or Debbie Reimert.
