Dundarave Christmas Trees

EVERY year, the Beach House at Dundarave Pier is one of the first places to officially welcome Christmas. All around the restaurant and park, people have decorated Christmas trees with a personal flair. On Tuesday, the gang threw the switch and the lights came on. A special reception was held at the Beach House for those who donated time and money to the event, the proceeds of which will be given to the North Shore Harvest Project. Be sure and stop by throughout the Christmas season to see the trees and vote for your favourite.
