There is still time to join in the fun this New Year's Eve at the city's Families First Celebration which is in full swing a Memorial Gardens.

At 7:00 pm is the Canada vs. Finland exhibition ringette game which is free to the public as part of the world champinship tournament in town for the next few days.

A huge grand finale fireworks display at 9:15 pm will complete the evening.

The fireworks show will be bigger and better than ever in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Families First and the 50th Anniversary of the Ontario Ringette Association.  What a great way to kick off the New Year!

Admission is free to all participants but we do encourage everyone to bring a non-perishable food donation for the North Bay Food Bank.

“The entire committee would like to thank all of our sponsors and donors of this event.”  “It wouldn’t be possible without you” stated Brian Winkworth, Honorary Chair, Families First Committee.

“We encourage all members of the community and their families to come down and join us in this free family event of fun and entertainment” said Wendy Prieur, Families First Committee Member.
