GINGERBREAD WARMING HOUSE

In 2009, a new Gingerbread Warming House was created...

 

 

... by building wall panels to temporarily close in the walls of the picnic shelter in Toddy Jones Park...

...then painting and decorating the walls...

CLICK HERE to watch the building going up

 

 

...and, finally, adding these wonderful mural panels to decorate the outside of these walls...

Congratulations to the grade 12 art students at St. Thomas of Villanova Catholic Secondary School who designed and built these murals...

... and thanks to their teahcer, Lisa Bastien for all her assistance with this project.

The Gingerbread Warming House will be open on opening night and fridays, saturdays and sundays during the River Lights Winter Festival.

Please be sure to drop by and view the wonderful artwork on the outside of the Warming House.

Then step inside to 'warm up' and see what else we have to offer you...
