A Dickens of a Christmas

St. John’s Presbyterian Church is hosting A Dickens of a Christmas this year. The event will include a dramatic reading of the classic tale, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Proceeds from this fundraising event will go to the Medicine Hat and Area Refugee Team's current project to bring Sudanese refugees from a camp in Kenya.

If you’re going to be in Medicine Hat this month, then we suggest participating in any of the Christmas activities and events above. And if you need a place to stay during your trip, you’re always welcome at the Days Inn Medicine Hat. We combine luxe amenities and a warm, festive atmosphere with affordable rates and a prime location in the heart of the city.
