Holiday Photo Opportunity at West Park Healthcare Centre

Toronto - On December 3rd at 6:45 p.m., West Park Healthcare Centre will illuminate 30,000 holiday lights on its campus as the central event in its 12th annual Celebration of Lights. The dazzling display, which rivals the lighting done by the City of Toronto, will feature cartoon character outlines, illuminated trees and an eight-foot snowman, in addition to a two-tonne illuminated ice sculpture entitled "The Community Carousel of Life" that will be prepared on site during the day.

This free community event sponsored by Rogers Media also features horse-drawn carriage rides and entertainment by the Toronto All-Star Jazz Band, the Grace Notes and the centre's new Long-Term Care Centre Residents' Choir. Entertainment begins at 6:00 p.m. and continues until 8:00 p.m.

West Park Healthcare Centre is a regional rehabilitation centre for adults living in the western Greater Toronto Area and is a local provider of complex continuing care and long-term care. West Park is located at 82 Buttonwood Avenue (west of Jane Street, north of Eglinton Avenue), Toronto, Ontario.
