All are welcome to celebrate this time of beginnings and light.

You don't need a child 'escort' to attend this celebration!

At the Winter Solstice, we celebrate Children's Day to honour our children and to bring warmth, light and cheerfulness into the dark time of the year.

Holidays such as this have their origin as 'holy days'.

They are the way human beings mark the sacred times in the yearly cycle of life.

Children's Day honors the spirit and innate wisdom of children and families.

This is an opportunity for all of us to rediscover this energy in ourselves.

In the northern latitudes, midwinter's day has been an important time for celebration throughout the ages.

On this shortest day of the year, the sun is at its lowest and weakest, a pivot point from which the light will grow stronger and brighter.

This is the turning point of the year.

Light is a special characteristic of this holiday.

To help us bring joy to the dark nights and to call back the light, we turn to family and friends for celebration, creativity, and generosity.

Anyone with a youthful spirit is invited to attend this day celebrating the beginning of a new season with the children & families of our community.
