Share the joy - and help others
Do a little holiday shopping while helping others next month.
The Bitmakaly Women's Association - an organization that helps refugees and new immigrants - is hosting a Christmas Bazaar on Dec. 8, at the Sapperton Hall.
Lubna Abdelrahman, who founded the association, knows what it's like to be a newcomer to Canada, having immigrated from Sudan more than a decade ago.
She believes it's important for newcomers to embrace traditions celebrated in their new homelands.
"The message I want to tell newcomers, even if you are Muslim or Christian, everyone has spiritual holidays," she told The Record last year. "You have to participate. It's part of integration."
The hall is located at 318 Keary St. in Sapperton.
