Our neighbourhood definitely has holiday spirit!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone 🎄

Show your Holiday Spirit! Share the home address of decorated homes in Glen Allan and they will be entered to win a $50 Pasta Pantry gift card. Caroling Kits are available! Connect and sing with neighbours on your block or cul-de-sac around a warm fire or on the steps of homes in your area. You pick the date, time and location that works best for you and your neighbours. To help you spread good tidings, caroling kits are available in two Glen Allan Little Libraries. Two kits will be in the Gilmore Park Little Library and two kits will be in the Little Library at 26 Glacier Crescent. Caroling kits include song books, bells and helpful tips for caroling in our neighbourhood. When you are finished with the kit please return it to the Little Library and leave a note telling us about the merriment!!
