Dec 20, 2024 | 6:00 PM

Santa is making sure everyone is in the holiday spirit this Christmas, especially those away from home.

On Thursday, he visited the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) as part of the JPCH Foundation’s (JPCHF) ‘Project Holiday Joy’ initiatives. President and CEO of the foundation, Brynn Boback-Lane said the visit is a truly magical moment bringing immense joy to patients and their families in hospital.

“Project Holiday Joy embodies the true spirit of giving, and we are deeply grateful to our dedicated sponsors and donors for helping create cherished memories during the holiday season. Together, we are making meaningful differences in the lives of these courageous children receiving life-changing and life-saving care at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, said Boback-Lane.

Santa arrived at the hospital in a bright shiny red truck bellowing ‘Ho, Ho, Ho’ down the hallways as he explored activities with the kids and handed out a special holiday gift to the patients and their families.

Other activities of Project Holiday Joy include movie nights throughout the month of December, songs and stories, ornament making and decorating, holiday Bingo, gingerbread house decorating, as well as a Holiday Market that allows patients, families and caregivers an opportunity to shop for a special present for each other when they aren’t able to leave the hospital.
