Home for the Holidays! The Woodward’s Windows have been a Vancouver Christmas tradition since the 1960s, delighting shoppers with holiday scenes and characters from years gone by. The displays have been a treasured part of the Christmas magic at Canada Place since 1993. For the first time in 17 years these historical treasures will be viewable in the newly-restored Woodward’s building and in five additional locations in Vancouver’s downtown core. A Walking Tour to visit the six grand displays will take you on a nostalgic journey back in time. Get bundled up, snag a warm eggnog and enjoy.

The 23rd annual Christmas at Canada Place proudly supports the Strathcona Community Centre’s Food Security for Children, an essential program that helps to feed children on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

Proudly sponsored by:
