Thank you to all the volunteers and community members who organized this year’s GALA Holiday event for local kids and their families. Santa even paid an early visit during this very hectic time of year! From cookie decorating, crafts, sing alongs, hot chocolate, treats and a holiday book corner (thanks HPL Barton Branch) the event was a heart warming kick off to the holiday season in the neighbourhood! This year’s event was also a recipient of the Fall 2025 Ward 3 Community Resilience Grants.
