The City is gearing up to once again celebrate the holiday season as Christmas on the Farm returns for its 49th year.

“This event is such an adored holiday tradition, it’s an opportunity for young and old across the community to come out and enjoy the spirit of the season,” said Parks and Recreation Manager Krissy Glavin.
Guests can expect the full array of traditional favourites and recent additions that have made the event so popular over the decades, including:
- Ice-carving demonstrations
- Story time with Mrs. Claus
- Cookie giveaways
- Letters to Santa
- Train rides
- Craft making
- Horse and carriage rides
- Chestnut roasting
- A visit from Santa Claus at 1 p.m. on Dec. 9
