New this year: We’ve named our tree the Kindle Tree, a symbol of warmth and hope for families who could use extra support this holiday season. Through our partnership with Corner Lighthouse, we encourage all who can to donate and help support families throughout our community. Together, we can help kindle a brighter season for everyone. ❤️✨

On Sunday, Nov. 30, the annual Making Spirits Bright ~ Community Tree Lighting event takes place in Port Sydney from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Port Sydney Community Hall.
