As the snow begins to fall and twinkle lights start to glow, Airdrie transforms into a winter wonderland filled with holiday cheer. This season, the city is bursting with festive fun for all ages.

Michael Drewniak is a long time Airdrie resident who began researching his father's Polish military background and his own heritage when he retired in 2022.

The 10th annual Voice and Vision collaboration anonymously pairs 15 artists and 15 writers from Airdrie and surrounding communities to create pieces inspired by each other’s work. Writers begin the project with a prose or poetry piece, in any genre or style, with a 250-word limit.

Airdrie has an exciting and growing community of talented musicians. From beginners performing at their first open mic, to seasoned professionals whose songs convey their lived experiences, every single one credits family, partners and fellow musicians for making the journey possible.

Longtime Airdrie resident Andrew Bennett is inspiring others to chase their dreams, regardless of age or what stage of life they’re at. The 47 year-old recently quit his 30-year career in the IT industry to become a craft-chocolate maker.
