For the past 12 days leading up to Christmas we've been publishing the 12 Days of Christmas Kindness where we celebrate a local person who does good for others and do some good to them!
They've been so well received that we wanted to make sure everyone got a chance to see all of them - so we're publishing them again one each day for the official 12 Days of Christmas - enjoy!
On Day 5 we surprised Rick Chomyn, who was nominated by his friend Shelley Biermanski. Here’s what Shelley had to say when we asked her why she nominated Rick:
Check out all the videos in the 12 Days series here:

DAY 12: "The Kindest Person I Know"
"Rick has a heart of gold, a zest for life, a deep love and caring for family, is a longtime devoted husband, has a kindness for everyone he crosses paths with, is a soothing shoulder for those who are down and shares his best sense of humour. Rick makes everyone feel happier. Rick cared for his wife while she beat cancer, he is super Dad who would move the earth for his children.
Shelley told us Rick would be into anything involving guitars, so we talked to our friends at St. Albert Centre and they’ve provided $240 in gift cards for Rick to be able to hit the music store!
See what happened when met Shelley and gave Rick the good news and the gift, and come back each day until Jan. 6 for a fresh story of Christmas kindness!
