It’s a big day for the Salvation Army in Calgary as it kicks off its annual Christmas Kettle campaign.
Captain Pam Goodyear says this year’s fundraising goal is $1-million.
“Last year we came in just under $900,000; a phenomenal amount of money, but we’re hoping to reach the $1-million mark this year,” she said.
The campaign will be officially kicked off Wednesday with a luncheon at the Hyatt downtown.
Again this year, the Salvation Army is looking for volunteers to help staff the some 70 kettles around town.
