What: Christmas without Dickens is like Halloween without pumpkins: you can do it but it's ill-advised. If you don't have time to read A Christmas Carol for yourself this year, though, head to this charming public reading event at St. Philip's Anglican Church in the city's Dunbar neighbourhood. This year's readers will include Christoper Gaze, Charlie Demers and more––and there will also be carols and sound effects to add to the fun. Better yet, proceeds will go towards supporting local families facing food insecurity challenges. Book your tickets ASAP––this is a very popular event!
