Woodwards Christmas Carol

Join us on December 18th at Noon for the first annual Woodwards Christmas Carol.  Be a part of the celebration as we pack the Woodwards Plaza with as many Vancouver carolers as possible.  The infamous Mark Donnelly, who is the fan favorite for leading the anthems at the Vancouver Canucks games, will help lead the group in several of the seasons classics! Don’t worry if your carol skills need some sharpening, words and music will be provided.

The fun will start at Noon, in the Woodwards Plaza, in front of the SFU entrance.  See you there!
