Kiwanis annual Tree Lighting returns to West Lincoln Nov 25

West Lincoln residents are invited to kick off the holiday season at the annual Community Tree Lighting on Wednesday, November 25, from 6:15 to 7 p.m. at the West Lincoln Community Centre, located at 177 West Street in Smithville

Organized by Kiwanis, West Lincoln Shines began in 2019 with a simple goal: bringing neighbours together to celebrate the holiday season and strengthen community connections. Since then, the event has become a cherished annual tradition, bringing residents of all ages together to share in the spirit of the season.

“The Community Tree Lighting is a wonderful reminder of what makes West Lincoln such a special place to call home,” says Mayor Cheryl Ganann. “It’s an opportunity for neighbours, families and friends to come together, celebrate the season and enjoy the sense of community that makes our township so welcoming. We are grateful to Kiwanis and all of the community partners and volunteers who help make this special tradition possible each year.”

The Township is proud to partner with Kiwanis in bringing this festive event to the community, alongside Smithville Christian High School, Foodland, St. Martins Men, Stanpac, Rebecca Mullin Desjardins Insurance and Summer Heinen Royal LePage.

Residents can enjoy complimentary hot dogs, hot chocolate and sweet treats, while the Smithville Christian High School choir fille the evening with the sounds of the holidays. The celebration will culminate in the lighting of the community Christmas tree.

Everyone is welcome to attend and share in this festive West Lincoln tradition. Bring your family, invite a neighbour and join us as we shine together this holiday season!
