The Aluminum City Telethon starts today at 11 am, and the rather than have your heads down on your phones all day, everyone is encouraged to get together for this great community telethon and oh wait, get your phones back out.

The Telethon has run for decades in Kitimat and is organized by the Kitimat Community Foundation.

It’s one of Kitimat’s longest running community building events so be sure to to leave your phones at home bring your phones with you and take part in the events.
