Northeast seniors receive holiday cheer with poinsettias
Christmas may still be a few weeks away, although it hasn’t stopped the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group (JPBG) to provide some holiday cheer halfway through December.
Nearly 480 poinsettias were delivered to seniors in the northeast region by Power 99. It’s the fourth straight year Power99 gave out the Christmas-themed plants throughout the area.
Sask Government & General Employees Union (SGEU) Health, who provides home care for seniors in the northeast area, was more than willing to get on board with the poinsettia giving.
“We thought that it would be a good way of giving back to the communities we serve and bring a little bit of holiday cheer to people in the long-term care areas,” SGEU Health Vice President Bonnie Erickson said.
