This is becoming a fun tradition for many families at HCP. It is a fun way to make a door wreath using a variety of plant materials provided for you! That saves a lot of gathering and helps focus on the creating! We will be using wire wreaths and lots of boughs and branches to choose from. Participants are asked to bring along a pair of hand pruners (secateurs) if you have some. An adult is to accompany each child/youth due to the nature of the activity. *pre-registration required*

Enter a wonderland of treasures, from toys to jewelry, fashion, and food, and choose uniquely crafted holiday gifts for your family and friends. Hosted by the James Bay Market Society, the Dickens Fair provides an opportunity to meet and support local artisans, hear their stories and learn first-hand how they make, bake and craft their wares. You will recognize your favourite James Bay Community Market vendors. There are also many new-to-you vendors showcasing their work at the Dickens Fair for the first time. The variety and quality will impress the most discerning shoppers. Bring the whole family! The Dickens Café serves baked goods and snacks, and lunch items created with locally sourced ingredients. Tea and coffee are served all day to help take the chill off. Meanwhile the children can “chill” in the Children’s Creation Zone where they can create a one-of-a-kind treasure of their own. We hope to see you at the Fair!
