The Christmas season officially arrived on Flin Flon’s Main street with the Christmas tree lighting at Pioneer Square on Thursday night.

Mayor George Fontaine was pleased with the turn out and commented on all the new lights that are also on display this year. " Well I'm looking down and I see some snow on the ground, so the timing is perfect. The lights have just been lit and we have people starting to sing and we have a great crowd. I haven't been downtown in the dark  since the new lights were put up, and just as I approached I was looking at them and I said wow,  people are really going to love those."

Fontaine also mentioned that he hopes everyone in Flin Flon and area will have a good Christmas season with friends and family in what has been a difficult year for a lot of  people in our communities.
