Mail strike impacting Chinook Hospital’s fundraising efforts
Just days after the Canada Post workers’ strike began, many across the country are feeling its impact. It’s not just individuals missing bill payments or regular mail—businesses, institutions, and charitable organizations are also being affected.
The Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation is facing challenges, as they move forward with key campaigns such as the Christmas Tree Festival Gala on November 19, 2025, and their annual year-end “Lights of Hope” campaign.
This campaign raises critical funds for equipment, special projects, and programs that directly benefit patients and families at Chinook Regional Hospital and throughout Southern Alberta. Crystal Elliott, CEO with the hospital, shares more on how the strike is affecting their work.
Anyone wishing to donate can go to chr.foundation.ca, call (403) 388-6001 or stop by their office at Chinook Regional Hospital right in the atrium.
