December 26, 2025

On Sunday, December 21st, we held our annual Christmas Dinner event at The Hungry Moose Bar & Restaurant.

Around 40 guests, adults and children alike, joined us for a cheerful evening, enjoying turkey plates as well as other favorite food and drinks, all while sharing plenty of smiles.

A Visit from Santa

One of the highlights of the night was a special visit from Santa Claus.

Dressed in full Santa costume and rushing over by train, his surprise appearance instantly filled the venue with festive Christmas spirit.

Gifts and Prizes

After everyone had enjoyed their meal, it was time for the door prizes.

Small Canadian-themed gifts were handed out, and we also saw some guests exchanging presents with one another, creating many heartwarming moments throughout the room.

It was a relaxed and joyful evening, full of laughter and warm connections - and even the weather was warm!

For both first-time attendees and regular participants, it became (albeit 4 days early) a memorable Christmas night to cherish.
