HAPPY HANUKKAH!
The Jewish Festival of Lights
This year, Hanukkah begins at sundown on Thursday, December 7, and ends at nightfall on Friday, December 15. The festival is observed by lighting the candles of a menorah, singing Hanukkah songs, playing dreidel and eating traditional foods, such as latkes. Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate!

The gift of giving
The 2023 Children’s Miracle Network Campaign, which runs in May, raised more than $13 million dollars in Canada. The contributions, which come from Costco members, vendors, employees and the Costco corporate match program, make a significant impact by supporting various children’s hospital foundations across Canada. These efforts demonstrate Costco’s commitment to making a difference in the lives of children and families in need through community support.
