Fort Saskatchewan Hosts Second ‘Blue Monday Comedy’ Special!

The third Monday in January, often called Blue Monday, is a challenging time for many, marked by cold weather, post-holiday financial stress, and limited sunlight. To help beat the winter blues, the City of Fort Saskatchewan’s Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is thrilled to present once again an evening of laughter and connection with the Blue Monday Comedy Special.

This lighthearted event invites the community to come together for a night of joy and humour, celebrating the resilience and connections that help us thrive—even on the gloomiest days.
