Prince Albert’s long-running radiothon is back for its 38th year on Friday, September 26th, with organizers hoping to raise $45,000 to keep seniors connected and mobile. “It originated with a lady named Mary at the time; you could get almost anywhere in the city within like a two-mile radius,” Pollock explained. “They decided to go with the name Two Miles for Mary as a fundraiser so that they could support seniors’ transportation by providing safe, friendly, and affordable transportation for seniors in Prince Albert.”The annual event raises money for the Community Service Centre’s seniors transportation program, which completed more than 6,000 trips in 2024, a five percent increase from the year before. For those unable to attend in person, donations can be made at www.pacsc.com under the Two Miles for Mary tab, by cheque payable to “Two Miles for Mary,” by e-transfer to tmfm@pacsc.com, or through their new Canada Helps page, which allows for one-time or monthly contributions. “The seniors are a big part of this community,” Pollock said.
