What to Expect
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Vendor Market, Toy Drive, and Hockey Equipment Drive
Browse the Craft Vendor Market upstairs to find unique handmade gifts for everyone on your Christmas list. The Inter-Township Fire Department will be collecting donations for their annual Toy Drive, and this year we're also hosting a Hockey Equipment Drive. Families are encouraged to donate gently used hockey equipment to help support local recreation programs and young athletes. Together, we can spread holiday joy, reduce waste, and help make recreation more accessible for everyone.
7:00 PM - 7:30 PM: Community Centre & Tree Lighting Outside
Gather outside to watch as we turn on the Christmas lights at Shallow Lake Arena and light not one, but two Christmas trees!
7:30 PM - 9:00 PM: Free Family Skate with Santa Claus
Lace up your skates and enjoy a Free Family Skate in the arena. Be sure to keep an eye out for a special visit from the big man in the red suit, Santa Claus!
Join us for an evening of community, giving, and festive fun as we celebrate the holiday season together!
