The sound of jingle bells heralded the arrival of our English and French SANTA's who distributed gifts. A local CTV News crew even dropped by to do a little filming and conduct interviews regarding the Snow Angels Initiative (see IN THE NEWS page). WHAT A JOYOUS EVENT! Qu'est-ce qu'un événement joyeux!
