Black Owned Holiday Market
On December 8, head to Exhibition Place to shop for those on your gift-giving list. This event brings together numerous black-owned retailers from Toronto and throughout surrounding areas. Between noon and 9 p.m., you can shop for gifts, enjoy food and drinks, be entertained by live seasonal music and more. Proceeds support a local children’s organization.
All Is Calm, All Is Bright
One of the most notable events that occurred during the holidays in recent decades is the armistice during World War I. All Is Calm, All Is Bright explores this temporary peace that developed spontaneously between the warring factions on Christmas Eve in 1914. The peace evolved as soldiers on both sides of the war zones began singing treasured holiday songs. This memorable service honors the soldiers who fought in World War I and spreads the peace of the season through song. It takes place on December 8 at 7:30 pm at the beautiful Trinity-St. Paul’s United Church and Centre for Faith. Attendees are encouraged to bring a canned food donation to support a local food drive organization.
