December 2019

It’s the Holidays at River District! This season, all roads lead to the Neighbourhood Centre. Whether it’s going to be a Winter Wonderland #downbytheriver or not, whether you’ve been naughty or nice, you won’t have a reason to pout. Our December festivities are sure to make your spirits merry and bright!

Learn to create a celebratory dining ambiance at our Ladies Night session on creating holiday centerpieces made from natural materials. Have your portraits taken at the Neighbourhood Centre’s pop-up holiday photo booth and get the kids together for our holiday crafts drop-in sessions.

We’re not saying goodbye for the year without a show! We look forward to having you back next year!
