Haliburton’s SIRCH Bistro serving free Christmas dinner on Dec. 25th

Christmas is supposed to be a time for togetherness, joy and wonderful meals shared with loved ones. But for those who live on the margins or are alone, Christmas can be a dreaded time of year. That’s why, for the first time in its 35-year-history, SIRCH — which stands for Supportive Initiatives for the Residents of the County of Haliburton — will serve up a Christmas dinner with turkey and all the fixings and dessert for anyone who comes to the bistro. CanoeFM spoke with Laurie McCaig, Marketing Manager of SIRCH, who says the dinner is just another way to make sure everyone enjoys a nutritious meal over the holidays.
