They also put lots of effort into both decorating and planning these events in order to promote inexpensive ways to make some cherishable memories with loved ones.

Attractions:
Create lasting memories by photographing your time around attractions such as the 50 ft tall Christmas tree and “The Heart of Christmas” sculpture made by Studio Rosenblatt. Make sure to also take a glimpse around you for lighting installations and décor which add to the atmosphere of a real-life winter wonderland. Otherwise, I advise you to bring some warm clothes and be willing to make some long- lasting memories with friends and family. Hope you have a happy holiday Ryersonians!
