Open House at the Food Bank
The Lakes District Food Bank has been in its new location at 780 Centre Street across from the Hospital and Health Centre for one year. They are inviting you to an Open House to look around and to share snacks and see what’s new, on Nov. 29, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. As part of the celebration, Food Bank staff members will be hanging leaves on their new Sharing Tree, to acknowledge the contributions of donors and funders. Join the Food Bank folks, and be part of growing connections in our community.
Annual Christmas Parade, Light-Up Ceremony and Mistletoe Mania
The Christmas Parade starts at 6:15 p.m. on Nov. 30, followed by the Lakes District Community Choir and hot chocolate at Pioneer Park on Main Street. Mistletoe Mania follows later on, including late night shopping: a great way to support local businesses. To enter a float in the parade, call the Chamber of Commerce at 250-692-3773. Look for the ad in this week’s Lakes District News for more information about this annual event, which helps mark the start of the holiday season in the Lakes District. Shop locally!
