We kicked off the Holiday Season by spreading joy and Christmas cheer in our community with our 2nd  Christmas Market and Walking Parade.

​

Through our Pay What You Can tickets we were able to raise just over $5000 which will allow us to by a month of fresh food for our Food Hub! Thank you Willowdale! 

​

The Market included 45+ local artisans, free hot chocolate, food trucks and live entertainment!

​

The Walking Parade left at 7:30pm from the Church and ended at Mel Lastman Square 

​

Featuring performances from the Yorkminstrel Show Choir, Haois International Choir, Marcus Schwan, Starship Experience and more!
