AJAX — A symbol of the true meaning of Christmas for the people who help some of Ajax and Pickering’s neediest families was left shattered last weekend after vandals smashed the nativity scene outside the Salvation Army offices on Kings Crescent in Ajax.
Grant Waddell, administrator for the Ajax and Pickering Salvation Army, said the nativity scene was placed last Wednesday on the front lawn of the House of Hope, which serves as the food bank and provides family services.
