91大黄鸭鈥檚 Gospel Mission鈥檚 annual Easter dinner is still a go, despite the pandemic and ongoing restrictions.
This year鈥檚 difference is the sit-down dinner will only be available to residents already staying at the Mission鈥檚 Leon Avenue shelter.
Volunteers will pack up meals, which will then be distributed by the Mission鈥檚 outreach team to people not staying at the shelter and the Mission鈥檚 Doyle Avenue shelter and other partner supportive living homes.
鈥淓aster is a time we think about hope and new beginnings. I can鈥檛 think of a better reason to share a special meal together here at the Mission,鈥� executive director Carmen Rempel said.
COVID-19 restrictions have reduced the Mission鈥檚 capacity for onsite volunteers, but they are now slowly welcoming them back. Easter volunteers will include MLA Norm Letnick, MP Tracy Gray and MP Renee Merrifield.
The meals will be distributed on Saturday, April 3.
