The Christmas tree for the Village of St. Peter’s was officially lit on Dec. 4, with an event that included an effort to collect gently-used winter coats and jackets for people in need.
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a visit from Santa Claus, who stopped to greet members of the community at the official tree lighting in St. Peter’s earlier this month.
Students from East Richmond Education Centre performed a number of holiday favourites during the Christmas in the Village event in St. Peter’s.
