#ColorfulCanadian is kicking off its inaugural year with a show-stopping display of downtown Christmas lights as the official holiday season begins. The memorable Winter Wonderland lightscape illuminating Canadian’s historic Main Street and several other storefronts around town is guaranteed to lift holiday spirits.

In 2020, “home for the holidays” has a new ring to it. With the year’s pandemic challenges, Canadian is re-imagining the holidays, adjusting traditions, and implementing new events. A big dose of Christmas cheer may be the perfect way to brighten up this crazy year.

MEALS ON WHEELS For over 50 years, Canadian’s Meals on Wheels program has relied on the many volunteers who deliver meals each weekday as well as the contributions that support its outreach to senior citizens, to those recuperating from illnesses or surgery, and to others in need. This is one example of the many blessings this community offers.

Hemphill County Hospital District confirmed 77 additional COVID-19 cases this week from tests performed by the hospital laboratory department—15 involving residents of Hemphill County and 62 for out-of-county residents.
