January is Kindness month in Airdrie, and it is coming to a close.

The 30 Acts of Kindness committee has been running a social media campaign all month, sharing daily ideas to inspire acts of kindness as well as kindness stories from the community. Laurie with the committee says the month has been a success.

"I think it's been good. People will like the post or share them, which is really our intention, to get people to think about ways they can be kind that don't involve having to spend a lot of money or do anything huge."

In the past, the group has encouraged businesses to donate so they can give gifts back to the community. Laurie says this year, they've taken a different approach.

"This year, just with the economy, we really wanted to shift our focus and just remind people that it's not about having to spend money."
