The Trees of Hope is a community event introduced in 2009, which provides Abbotsford businesses the opportunity to share in the spirit of giving during the month of December. This is a fantastic opportunity to ‘brand’ a Christmas tree showcasing your business while supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley and the Fraser Valley health Care Foundation. The decorated trees will be displayed in the common area of Sevenoaks Shopping Centre during the Holiday season.

“Freedom” combines dance, music, humour, and acting to tell the stories of Hannah – a single mother fighting against the clock with work and her kids, Ellie – a teenager who has lost confidence in herself and Nick – a young man haunted by his past. Sometimes the people in your path can change everything
