The Lower Lonsdale Business Association in partnership with the City of North Vancouver presented their annual Christmas Festival at Shipbuilders' Square Dec. 7. Hundreds of festive-minded folk strolled around, admiring beautifully decorated Christmas trees, and took in live performances by Norm Foote, a Christmas Elf Show, fire juggler Mike Battie and the B.C. Boys Choir. Bug lantern building, horse and carriage rides, and gingerbread decorating were all part of the fun.
