The City of Timmins and Newmont Porcupine are celebrating Timmins’ 10th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting at Hollinger Park, and this year the theme is, “Go Big … or go back to the North Pole!” We’re pulling out all the stops to help residents kick off the holiday season.

Head to Hollinger Park on Sunday, November 17 for a festive French sing-a-long with the Lapointe Sisters. Catch a dazzling dance number from the Pat Picard School of Dance. Score FREE hot chocolate from the McIntyre Coffee Shop. Make friends with an alpaca or two from Dream Acres, and snap a selfie with Santa Claus. We’re counting down until the magical moment when our Christmas tree will start twinkling.

The cross-country team from École secondaire catholique Thériault will also be collecting non-perishable food donations for both local food banks. Help feed a family this holiday season!

The fun begins at 5:45 p.m. in Hollinger Park on Sunday, November 17.

Timmins 10th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting is proudly supported by the City of Timmins, Newmont Porcupine, The McIntyre Coffee Shop, DeBastos & Sons Ltd., and PAD Systems Inc.
