You’re Invited to our Holiday Open House!

Posted on By Communications Team

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane snow is glistening.
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland!

Although there are technically still 41 days left of autumn, it has begun to feel very winter-y in our lovely city already. The chilly weather and November snowfalls may make some of you want to curl up under a blanket until June, but we’re here to offer you an alternative: come celebrate the season at our Winter Wonderland themed Holiday Open House!

As in previous years, this is a free event, and open to everyone. For our event regulars, it’s a great opportunity to get together and enjoy some light refreshments. For newcomers, this can be an opportunity to learn more about our agency, and meet some of our clients and employees. And regardless of whether this is your first Holiday Open House or your tenth, you don’t want to miss out on our snowman competition or visit from Santa Claus!

Date: Thursday, December 3
Time: 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Location: DDRC Gym, 4646 Sarcee Road SW
Cost: Free!

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like … Craft Season!

Posted on By Communications Team

It’s that time of the year again … the wonderful season where everything smells like cinnamon, and you find your tolerance for glitter is at an all-time high. That’s right — it’s Christmas Craft Fair Season!

For the second year in a row, the DDRC will be joining in on the holiday fun, and hosting a Christmas Craft Sale. The event will take place on Saturday, November 23rd, from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm. The DDRC gymnasium will once again be transformed into a festive marketplace hosting 40 vendors, each selling unique gifts. The homemade lunch and tea is also back by popular demand, so you can take a break from all of that shopping and enjoy what last year’s attendees were calling “the best quiche in the city” (but you’ll have to try it for yourself)!

Whether it’s handmade jewelry, knitwear, Tupperware, beauty products, or sweet and savoury treats, you’ll find something for everyone on your list (and maybe even a few somethings for yourself) at the DDRC Christmas Tea & Bazaar!

Admission is free, and there is plenty of on-site parking. Attendees are asked to use the 4646 Sarcee Road SW entrance.
