Around this time of year, it can be easy to get wrapped up in the holiday frenzy. Between the holiday parties and making sure everyone on your list has the gift they want, it can be easy to forget that there are members of our community that are as fortunate this holiday season.
We are proud to announce that this year, the Robertson College Edmonton campus has chosen to support Helping Humanity, a local non-profit organization that is committed to making a difference here in Edmonton.
