We are grateful for their work in fostering a vibrant, playful neighbourhood in the Cathedral Village.

Cathedral Village Gift Basket Sponsors

We are so appreciative of all of the local businesses in the Cathedral Village neighbourhood. The Cathedral Village is a hub of local businesses who care greatly for their community. We hope that people visiting the Cathedral Village to build their snow sculptures might visit some of the lovely local shops around the village (regardless of if they have donated an item towards the prize basket). It has certainly been a challenging year for small business owners and staff. We are thankful for the generosity from those who have contributed items towards this prize basket to encourage play and winter cheer in their community in the midst of such hardship. The donations continue to come in, so check this webpage frequently for updates! The prize basket (so far) includes the following:
