Major services and helplines will remain open 24/7  for Airdronians and other Alberta citizens going through a difficult time throughout the holidays.

 Christmas always brings with it joy and celebration, but it also brings stress, depression and major mental issues. Luckily the Alberta government will be keeping the help and hotlines operating for anyone to call.

Anyone unable to meet basic needs right around Christmas time could call the Emergency Income Support Centre at 1-866-644-5135. If family violence is rearing its ugly face, victims can call the Family Violence Info Line. The Child Abuse Hotline and the Bullying Helpline are also running. 

For a list of all the available services, visit Alberta.ca. 

Non-urgent services will be up and running on January 2, 2019.
