Greater Sudbury deputy mayor Doug Craig has proclaimed the week of Dec. 5 to 11 as Charles Dickens Christmas Week.
The purpose of this week is to promote the spirit of generosity, giving and charity in all its forms to help the less fortunate especially through the medium of dramatic readings of his famous story Christmas Carol.
CBC Radio staff will be reading the Christmas Carol Friday, Dec. 11 at 7 pm at the Shrine Centre on The Kingway. Proceeds will go to the Shrine Club's work helping children who are burn victims.
