Flin Flon’s Christmas tree will be officially lit up for the holiday season Friday evening.  Deputy Mayor Karen MacKinnon encourages everyone to attend this celebration.  She says last year it was such a success with so many people there so they’re hoping to have everyone uptown again.  She says the Community Choir is going to be there singing, there’s going to be hot chocolate and this year they’ve heard they’re going to have a special visit from Santa so the Mayor and Council are inviting everybody to show up and be part of this start of the Christmas season.

The tree lighting takes place Friday evening starting at 6 in Pioneer Square on Main Street.
