Global Calgary is taking our show on the road to Ronald McDonald House Thursday, Dec. 8.
While you’re busy decking the halls of your home, Ronald McDonald House is trying to make the season just as festive for its residents at a time when they need it most.
Watch as Gord Gillies and Linda Olsen visit this “home away from home” for out-of-town families and children who are going through essential medical treatment.

Last year, nearly 700 families stayed at the Houses in Calgary and Red Deer. They are an affordable option for people who have been forced to leave their home and take time off of work.
Join us as we meet some of the families who will spend the holidays at RMH Calgary and talk to some of the volunteers about their very personal reasons for giving back to the charity.
