This is an especially fun display, as each tree has a unique theme and is custom-designed and created by local professionals. Which tree will be your favourite? You won’t know until you go!

Woodward’s Windows

Canada Place

The Woodward’s Windows display has been a staple in Christmas at Canada Place for more than 20 years, with origins at Woodward’s Department Store in the 90s. If that doesn’t evoke a sense of nostalgia, the whimsical designs reminiscent of childhood holidays certainly will.

Canada’s North Light Display
