A Festive Evening: The Mayor's Tree Lighting Ceremony

On Friday, December 6, residents are invited to join Mayor Paul Lefebvre and members of Council for a short and festive tree lighting ceremony in the courtyard of Tom Davies Square.  

The event begins at 6 p.m. and will feature musical performances by the Young Sudbury Singers and the Young Thunderbirds, along with complimentary hot chocolate and treats.

GOVA Transit will offer free transportation to those wanting to take part. Upon boarding, simply let the bus operator know you’ll be attending the ceremony.

The tree will be lit from December 6 until the week after Orthodox Christmas.

The Merry and Bright tree is an artificial spruce standing 26 feet tall and 12 feet in diameter. It is lit with 1,325 high-efficiency warm white LED bulbs, which accomplish 80 per cent energy savings compared to traditional incandescent bulbs.
