Celebrating her 100th birthday didn’t stop Barb Lavergne from taking up her usual post in the Campbell River Walmart jingling bells and receiving donations for the Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettles.

She does this every year sitting at the store entrance bundled up in her Santa hat, red gloves and warm jacket, a broad smile on her face. Only this year, she’s coming off her 100th birthday on Dec.
