High Park Nature Centre celebrates the shortest day of the year with the family-friendly park event Light the Night: A Winter Solstice Celebration. First, participants craft lanterns in the Cottage Building to help light the night, then the group heads outside to gather around a fire and watch the sun set to mark the start of winter.
