RIVER DISTRICT FLASHBACK

A look back at some of the fun had at River District.

 

Lunar New Year Celebrations

This season, we had fun at the River District Annual Lunar New Year Celebrations!

At Town Centre we watched a traditional Chinese lions dance performance and ceremony that blessed those who joined in as well as our local retailers. We enjoyed fried rice from Westminster Savings, lucky red envelopes from Save-On-Foods, herbal teas from River District Physio, refreshments and more!

Back at the Neighbourhood Centre we were joined by the Hon. George Chow MLA who performed the ceremony of dotting of the eye of the lions. There was also an interactive Tai Chi demonstration, fortune cookies and sweet pineapple buns.
