Celebration of Light

Inclusive Family-Friendly Event
December 2020

Winter holiday dinner event for families specifically created to celebrate, learn, and share practices of multiple winter holidays.

To celebrate Hannukah a dinner with latkes and winter veggies was eaten and sufganiyot (donuts) were for dessert! Mickey designed Hannukah and Winter Solstice themed activities for the families, and concluded the night by reading a story about light in the winter time allowing children and youth to share their own winter holiday celebrations.

This event was generously supported by YMCA of Greater Vancouver’s RLY Family Development Centre and by Hillel BC in a first ever collaboration between the two.
