Holiday festivities are being celebrated in a different fashion this year, however, that doesn’t mean you and your family can't still enjoy a little bit of Christmas spirit at the Shipyards!
The Shipyards have also been decorated with a fun and elegant light display accompanied by cheery Christmas music for families and locals to enjoy. The lights will be turned on daily at sunset running until January 4th. Currently, the shipyards ice skating plaza has not opened, however the city plans to announce if the ice skating rink will be opening on December 7th once new public health orders are given.
The City Of North Vancouver has been working hard to find safe ways to keep the Christmas spirit alive this year while adhering to the newest PHO. On November 24th The City of North Vancouver took to their Instagram to showcase the beautiful Christmas tree that has been placed at the foot of Lonsdale and is awaiting decoration. Unfortunately this year, there will be no lighting ceremony as there has been in previous years, instead the Christmas tree is there to be enjoyed by strolling families and passers-by during the holiday season!
