A helping hand for those alone on the holidays

While Christmas is tradi-tionally a time for fam-ilies to come together

and celebrate, for many local se-niors living alone, it can be a re-minder of those they have lost.

Many seniors have no family to spend Christmas with, says Bob Foster, chair of the Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Katzie Se-niors’ Network, which is why lo-cal seniors’ groups are working to bring shut-in seniors a Merry Christmas despite their circum-stances.

“Most seniors living alone are female, widowers,” says Fos-ter. “Many have no family left, or what family they do have is

so far away they can’t be with them.”

For many seniors living alone, their fixed income means they can’t afford the simple staples of the Christmas season, like cook-ies, or even a good meal.

“A lot of them are pretty hard up for cash,” says Foster. “Some of the meals on wheels clients will share their meals [with a neighbour or roommate] because they can’t afford their own.”

Volunteers at the Ridge Mead-ows Seniors’ Society have helped put together more than 80 Christmas hampers for seniors living alone to help make their holidays a little happier.

“It lightens their load and brightens their day,” says Fos-ter.

“And it gives the day some meaning, otherwise it would just be another miserable day.”

In addition to the Christmas food hampers sent out by the Friends in Need food bank, the Christmas packages put to-gether by the volunteers at the RMSS will provide seniors liv-ing alone with those little things many take for granted during the Christmas season.

The Craft Ladies knitting group at the RMSS has contrib-uted handmade scarves, mit-tens, toques, and other knitted

goods. Students from Maple Ridge Secondary School’s culi-nary program have made cook-ies and shortbread, made with 20 pounds of butter donated by the Golden Ears Cheeseworks.

“Home baking is a big part of Christmas,” says Heather Tre-leaven, coordinator for the lo-cal seniors’ network. “By giv-ing them baked goods, it helps seniors celebrate with others as well, because they have some-thing to offer guests.”

Students from Eric Langton El-ementary School in Maple Ridge, meanwhile, have made Christ-mas cards for each hamper.

The students there are part of the Grandbuddies mentor-ship program, which pairs school-aged children with seniors who may be living alone.

“The program has made a huge difference in the lives of seniors, and the kids,” says Treleaven. “Some kids don’t have grandparents, and for some grandparents, their grandkids are on the other side of the country.”

While there are events for those spending Christmas alone, such as the annual Christmas Haven dinner on Christmas Eve, many shut-in seniors aren’t mobile enough to make the trip.

“We have to bring Christ-mas to them,” says Treleav-en.

Treleaven is one of the

many volunteers with the Bergthorsen Music Acad-emy glee club to go caroling in and around the many se-niors’ homes on 224th Street in Maple Ridge, near the Ridge Meadows Seniors’ Ac-tivity Centre.

“Initially some of the se-niors were concerned, I think they thought we wanted do-nations,” said Treleaven, as the group began singing out-side underneath the windows of the seniors’ home. “By the end, we had a group of ladies following us up and down the block.”

Reaching out to seniors living alone in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows doesn’t need to take a lot of time, effort, or money, but simple things can mean the world to someone alone during the holidays.

“No one should have to spend Christmas alone,” says Treleaven.

Gift ideas for seniors:• blankets or throws;• slippers and socks;• toiletries such as lotions, bath soaps, toothpaste and cologne;• pyjamas, nightgowns and robes;• food baskets, sugar-free candy and dark chocolate;• kitchen and bath towels;• clothes such as sweat pants, sweaters and underwear;• paper products such as paper towels and tissues;• gift certifi cates for groceries and toiletries;• don’t forget companionship services.

Christmas 2011

staff reporter

Maple Ridge’s annual holiday tradition returns this Christmas Eve as the ACT hosts the 14th annual Christmas Haven dinner from 6 to 9 p.m.

Every year, the Christmas Haven provides a sense of belonging and camaraderie on a night that often brings hardship to those living alone, or with little or no support.

The non-denominational, volunteer-driven event pro-vides a free turkey dinner,

complete with Christmas carols, children’s activi-ties, and a special gift from Santa.

The event is wheelchair-accessible, and offers a warm and welcoming atmo-sphere for people of every age, ethnic background, and socio-economic status, to enjoy the holidays.

This year, the Christmas Haven has teamed with the Salvation Army to provide food for the event.

“In previous years we have asked for turkey donations,” says Maple Ridge councillor

Corisa Bell, volunteer orga-nizer and spokesperson for the event. “This year the Haven is in need of cash donations and/or gifts for teenagers and adults.” Do-nations can be made up un-til Dec. 31 at either the Pitt Meadows or Maple Ridge Leisure Centre’s, both of which will accept cash or debit.

Donation boxes will also be at the Maple Ridge Lei-sure Centre and Curves in Maple Ridge.

• For more information, vis-it www.christmashaven.ca.

Christmas Haven returns for 14th year

THE NEWS/files

Corisa Bell is surrounded by some of the 200 plus blankets made by inmates at the Alouette Correc-tional Centre for Women that were donated to the Christmas Haven last year. This year’s event takes place at the ACT in Maple Ridge from 6 to 9 p.m. on Dec. 24.

The 16th annual Coats for Kids campaign collected more than 4,000 coats this holi-day season for needy children, teens and adults in the Lower Mainland, the largest total ever for the campaign.

“Last year the response to Coats for Kids was heartwarming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats,” said Ben Taddei, chairman of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, organizers of the campaign.

Twenty-nine GVHBA-member compa-nies allowed their premises to be used as drop-off sites at 45 locations from West Vancouver to Langley from Nov. 21 to Dec. 9.

Locally, hundreds of coats were collect-ed from Portrait Homes’ sales office in Sil-ver Valley, and at the office of The Maple

Ridge-Pitt Meadows News.In addition to thousands of coats, many

of which still had their price tags on them, GVHBA President Peter Simpson said many people donated mitts, scarves, blan-kets, toys and gift cards.

“The weather is supposed to get colder and colder this winter so these are very needed,” Simpson added. “We really set the bar for next year.”

The clothing and toys will be distributed by the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau and various agencies throughout Metro Vancouver.

Many of the adult-sized coats will be dis-tributed through organizations that spe-cifically reach out to homeless men and women.

“There was a phenomenal response to Coats for Kids again this year,” Simpson said. “The spirit of the season was defi-nitely alive in the warm hearts of those generous individuals.”

Students at Maple Ridge Secondary School helped collect more than 4,000 non-perishable food items for the Friends in Need Food Bank earlier this month, help-ing ensure needy families won’t go hungry this Christmas.

On Saturday, Dec. 3, more than 80 stu-dents from the local high school held a drive-through donation station at the Real Canadian Superstore at Meadowtown Cen-tre, where they collected food items for the local food bank.

Students also participated in a door-to-door collection campaign.

Maple Ridge secondary principal Shan-

non Derinzy said teachers and community members participating in the event saw fi rsthand how charity can excite youth by giving them an avenue to reach out to their local community and make a difference.

“Many students unknowingly are also helping other students and families di-rectly connected to our school and com-munity that may need to use the food bank throughout the year,” she said. “Once again, Ridge students are demonstrating the compassion and positivity of the youth in the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadow com-munity.”

The effort constitutes one of the largest single donations to the local food bank in recent years, Derinzy added.

Christmas 2011

Many Canadians are instituting new Christmas tradi-

tions that have less environ-mental impact, according to a conducted by Ipsos Reid.

The survey, commissioned by Waste Management to learn about Canadians’ holi-day habits and encourage actions that will make the season greener.

“Canadians typically pro-duce, on average, 25 per cent more trash in the month of December than in any other month,” says Wes Muir, di-rector of corporate commu-nications, Waste Manage-ment.

What’s more, all the gar-bage produced on Christmas Day can actually interfere with the festivities, as one quarter of Canadians will spend at least an hour on Christmas packing up trash.

The survey results reveal that many wasteful holiday traditions are not as essen-tial to seasonal fun as might be expected. Instead, Cana-dians are fi nding new ways to cut down on waste while enjoying seasonal celebra-tions. The new set of sea-sonal standards seem to be: re-gift, redesign, rewrap and replant.

Re-gift Re-gifting may not be as ta-

boo as once thought. One in 10 adult Canadians say that they typically re-gift at least one of the gifts they receive at Christmas. In fact, one half of Canadians have re-gifted presents. All these re-gifters could be doing the environ-ment a favour.

“Finding another use for presents you don’t need is not necessarily a bad thing,” says Muir. “Re-gifting could prevent more items from ending up in a landfi ll.”

The key to a successful re-gifting strategy is to remove any old tags or wrapping, add personal touches where pos-sible, and most importantly, ensure the gift goes to some-one who will enjoy it.

Re-design One in 10 Canadians toss

their Christmas cards al-most immediately after get-ting them.

Christmas letters are even less popular: one in fi ve thinks the traditional family Christmas letter is “cheesy, annoying” and they “wish people would stop sending them.”

“Before you send out stacks of paper cards and letters, think about where they’ll end up,” cautions Muir.

Computer software and online programs can make it easy to re-design favourite holiday greetings and imag-es that can be sent electroni-cally in lieu of paper cards.

It seems many Canadians have already taken the hint, with 23 per cent choosing to

minimize their environmen-tal impact by sending digital Christmas cards instead of paper cards or letters this year.

Re-wrap The image of pristine, or-

nately wrapped gifts piled high under the tree may be on its way out.

“Wrapping paper can gen-

erate a large amount of waste very quickly,” warns Muir.

Fortunately, many Canadi-ans are taking a greener ap-proach by re-using wrapping paper (14 per cent), choosing reusable bags (24 per cent), giving gifts that don’t require wrapping (six per cent), or using another wrapping method (fi ve per cent). While the majority (57 per cent) of Canadians still wrap their

Christmas gifts with tradi-tional wrapping paper, 57 per cent of those who use wrap-ping paper plan on recycling it.

Muir advises, “If you are us-ing traditional gift wrap, look for kinds made from recycled paper, re-use it as much as possible, and recycle it when it can no longer be used.”

Re-plant Three-quarters of Canadi-

ans will have a tree this holi-day. Among those who will have a real tree, 75 per cent will recycle it through a lo-cal Christmas tree recycling program.

Notes Muir, “Once recycled, trees can be turned into gar-den mulch, into erosion bar-riers along the beach, or used to create feeding grounds for lake fi sh.”

Even better is to buy a potted tree that can be re-planted in the spring, which will provide benefi ts to the environment by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen into the air. To fi nd more information on a local Christmas tree recycling pro-gram, contact your local mu-nicipal waste management or public works offi ce.

Tips for a greener Christmas this year

Robert Mangelsdorf/THE NEWS

A reusable artificial Christmas tree or a natural potted Christmas tree can be an environmentally friendly alternative to cutting down a new tree each Christmas.

Give a wild gift this Christmasstaff reporter

The B.C. SPCA wants you to go “wild” with your gift-giving this holiday season.

For that person on your list who loves wildlife and the environment, why not honour them by sponsor-ing a special wild animal in need in their name?

This year the B.C. SPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre treated 10 per cent more animals than ever be-fore, from tiny baby hum-mingbirds to eagles, owls, otters and deer fawns.

Wild ARC, located just outside of Victoria, is the wildlife rehabilitation branch of the B.C. SPCA. Since it opened in 1997, Wild ARC has taken in more than 22,000 injured and or-phaned wild animals.

As a registered not-for-profi t organization that receives no direct govern-ment funding, Wild ARC relies on the help of more than 100 volunteers and fundraising initiatives in order to fund its good works.

One of Wild ARC’s big-gest costs caring for such diverse species is the wide variety of food they eat. Although some foods are donated by businesses and

individuals, many items are highly specialized and must be purchased from unique suppliers in East-ern Canada and the U.S. More animals means more food, and this extra food is a strain on limited fi nancial resources as Wild ARC re-lies almost exclusively on public donations.

A selection of special wild animals can be sponsored

via Wild ARC’s website at www.wildarc.com. Do-nation levels range from $25 to $100 and are tax de-ductible. The gift recipi-ent will receive a beautiful wildlife e-card or printable card featuring stunning photographs from our an-nual wildlife photography contest. Sponsorship cer-tifi cates can also be pur-chased.
