The 6th annual Village of East Toronto Christmas Parade gets underway at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 27 and parade marshals are needed to help guide participants on their merry way.
The parade travels Kingston Road from Victoria Park Avenue to Walter Street, then winds along residential streets over to Community Centre 55. Students can use marshalling time as community service hours.
This year’s Grand Marshal is Beach Metro News Editor Carole Stimmell, who will be retiring in January. For more information call Nancy at 416-691-1113 ext 224 or email nancy@centre55.com.
Centre 55 also has other holiday activities planned.

On Saturday, Dec. 10 he will be stopping by the Gardener’s Cottage in Kew Gardens from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. The Rotary Club, sponsors of the event, invite you to come in and sip hot chocolate in the Cottage’s warm and cheerful Victorian Christmas setting.
