Fur-Ever Valentine Gift-O-Grams

Thank you sincerely to the Coaldale & Regional Pet and Animal Wellness Society (PAWS) for taking on the Valentine’s Gift-O-Gram program this year!

Your dedication helped spread joy and kindness throughout our community, making Valentine’s Day special for many. We also want to extend our gratitude to the PAWS committee for inviting members of Council this morning to help hand-deliver 100 Fur-Ever Valentine Gift-O-Grams to the residents and staff of Sunny South Lodge sponsored by our Council.

Seeing the smiles these messages of love and kindness brought to our seniors was truly special.

Whether you sent a Gift-O-Gram to a friend, family member, teacher, neighbour, pet, or senior, your generosity made a difference.

Missed out this year? Watch for it again next Valentine’s Day!

Watch for updates, and get ready to share the love again in 2026. Thank you, PAWS, for making this tradition possible!
