REGINA — Access Communications Co-operative (Access) is bringing the warmth of the holiday season to AccessNow TV by airing the Knights of Columbus Carol Festival (formerly known as the Rotary Carol Festival), live on Dec. 11 and 12. The event occurs at Knox Metropolitan United Church from 7 to 9 p.m. This is the first in-person carol festival since the pandemic.
“For over 80 years the carol festival was a time-honoured tradition for the holiday season in Regina,” said Tracey Mucha, Access’s senior manager, Community Engagement.
“We’re happy to see it back after a one-year hiatus and to have the Knights of Columbus championing such a special event for the community.”
The festival is a fundraiser for the Access Communications Children’s Fund, Salvation Army, Regina Food Bank, and the Knights of Columbus Foundation Coats for Kids Program. Viewers can donate while watching the program each night by calling 306.559.660 or send an etransfer to [email protected]. Please add in the notes of the transfer “K of C Carol Festival.” All donations over $20 will receive a charitable tax receipt. If you want to see the event in person, tickets are free, but a donation is encouraged and will be accepted at the door.
“The Knights of Columbus are honoured to be able to present the carol festival, supporting some very worthwhile causes. We couldn’t do this without Access Communications who are helping by sharing this with their viewers on AccessNow TV,” said Andrij Lazurko, Knights of Columbus Rotary Carol Festival Coordinator.
Since 1941, the Festival has brought holiday cheer to Regina. It was initially founded to bring joy and entertainment to citizens, promote the advancement of choral groups and to raise funds to help those less fortunate. The Carol Festival has always been held at Knox Metropolitan United Church.
Viewers can watch the Knights of Columbus Festival on AccessNow TV, the AccessNow App, and on the Access Communications YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@myaccessca
