Did you know that while the brick and mortar parts of Airdrie Public Library (APL) have been shut down, we are still very much open, just in different ways? You might have noticed that many of our popular programs have a virtual presence.

Although Airdrie Public Library (APL) remains closed, its new online escape room is a new way for residents to connect with the library from the comfort of their homes. The online escape room was launched May 22.

The first week of June is Seniors Week in Alberta, and as many of Airdrie’s oldest residents shelter at home to protect against COVID-19, the community is urged not to forget them.

June is Pride Month, and although the COVID-19 pandemic has interfered with Airdrie Pride Society’s plans, the organization will still promote inclusivity and solidarity throughout the month.

In these times of hyper-online viewing, you may have noticed that a lot of public institutions are offering virtual escape rooms or similar escape type games.

In May, DayBreak Church has seen an explosion in the number of people signing up for the Good Food Box (GFB) program. “Our normal orders average about 130 [boxes], twice a month,” said Lynn Michaels, program co-ordinator.
