Lethbridge is a beautiful city, with a lot to offer. Lethbridge’s biggest asset is its people; within the city, there are countless, active demonstrations that show love helps those who cannot help themselves.
It is sad that the removal of charitable tax status from certain charities has been suggested by our government. The word “charity” means love! Charitable organizations are set up by those who have a heart for people.
They desire to care well for people‘s practical and emotional needs. They provide support and a safe space for people as they journey through life. In spite of the fact that errors are made at times, the contributions these organizations make to our community are beyond what words can express.
To those labouring in charitable work – thank you! You truly are examples of how we all ought to care for each other.
It is my hope that we recognize the value of these organizations in our community, and that we speak and act in support of them whenever we have the means and the opportunity!
