A typical holiday in Whitecourt usually means that staff at the Allan & Jean Millar Centre (AJMC) run events, both in the centre and around town, for residents to enjoy as a family. This past Christmas, restrictions kept staff on their toes because each changing regulation meant that an event had to change or be cancelled altogether, leaving them scrambling to come up with a new idea.
Recreation Coordinator for the Town of Whitecourt, Emma Harper said that the ever-changing restrictions helped them look at things differently. “It’s been neat to have to think outside of the box. We get so used to planning the same things and maybe changing them up a little but not to the extent that we have had to do that this year,” she explained. “It’s been difficult at times, but from the silver lining perspective, it’s been a kind of cool experience too.”
