In an effort to give back to the city and foster a sense of community, The Great Hall has teamed up with West Queen West to host a neighborhood holiday celebration on Saturday, December
22, 2018. The celebration will run from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. and will be held in The Great Hall’s popular venue Longboat Hall. Attendance at the event will be complimentary and all proceeds from the event will be donated to CAMH.

According to The Great Hall’s associate general manager Kelly Bolt, the event’s purpose is “to develop and foster a sense of community spirit and bring local businesses and residences together for a neighborhood holiday celebration. There will be a multitude of activations for city dwellers, including kids’ activities, Christmas tree lighting, a magician, West Queen West food vendors and much more.

West Queen West vendors will also be invited to participate in a gingerbread house decorating
competition, which will be auctioned off to attendees on the day of the event. All proceeds of this auction will be going to CAMH in an effort to give back to the city and the West Queen West community.
