The Salvation Army is thrilled to host our annual Hope in the City luncheon, presented by Wood Automotive Group, on Nov 26, 2024, in support of our Christmas Campaign in Calgary. Joining us will be our special guest, the host of Hockey Night in Canada, Ron MacLean.

At the luncheon, Ron will share entertaining and inspiring stories from his extensive career in hockey. Additionally, The Salvation Army will present uplifting tales of hope from throughout Calgary to inspire everyone in attendance.
