The Community Safety Village is decorated for the festive season and hot chocolate and treats will be available as you take a horse-drawn carriage ride through the winter wonderland, bright with holiday lights.  The sound of music will fill the air as local choirs sing carols through the night.  Children will have the opportunity to make their own festive crafts, decorate a gingerbread cookie and should keep their eyes open for a visit from Santa Claus himself!

Representatives of the region’s diverse communities will be in attendance to share their cultural celebrations with children and adults through decoration, costume and song.

Members of the York Regional Police Community Services Bureau will answer questions related to winter safety, including winter driving and general safety messages for children.   

The Fire Educator at the Community Safety Village will be available to provide a demonstration to children and parents in Sparky’s apartment on decorating safely for the holidays to avoid incidents of accidental fire. 

Everyone is welcome and admission is FREE!!  Donations to the York Regional Police Holiday Heroes are appreciated. Anyone interested in contributing is encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy for donation.
