CHILDREN
​MEET THE REAL SANTA CLAUS
Each year, children eagerly await the arrival of Santa Claus. But the true story of Santa Claus begins with Nicholas, who was born during the third century. After losing his parents, Nicholas sold everything to help those who were less fortunate, especially children.
St. Nicholas' feast day is December 6th and it is widely celebrated in Europe with small gifts of chocolate and candies.
St. Nicholas will be visiting from 2 pm to 3 pm both Saturday and Sunday.
SAINT NICHOLAS' WORKSHOP
Children are invited to Saint Nicholas' workshop to help create gifts for their family members as well as ornaments for their Christmas Tree.
Children will also have the opportunity to shop for small gifts and trinkets for Christmas.
Everything in the workshop is priced at a toonie or less.
