The event will also feature Santa’s workshop where children can skate with Santa under The Roof, enjoy delicious hot chocolate, and indulge in tasty treats. It’s a magical experience for families and people of all ages!

As we celebrate the season, we also acknowledge that the holidays can be a difficult time for those grieving the loss of a loved one. This year, we invite our community to honour their cherished memories through our special memorial initiative. By purchasing a Christmas ornament in memory of a loved one, you will help us place a commemorative ornament on our Memorial Tree—a beautiful gesture to keep their light shining.
