ARCH Hospice is excited to announce the second annual Illuminate the Season with ARCH! This family-friendly event is taking place from Thursday, Nov. 17, until Sunday, Nov. 20, 2022, at the Sault Ste. Marie Machine Shop. The celebration will bring together local businesses showcasing their talent and dedication to not only the holiday season but towards a local charity.

Illuminate the Season with ARCH brings together all ages and will have something for everyone to enjoy! The event will include festive decor with an opportunity to bid on and win trees, wreaths, and planters. Those who attend the event will also have a chance to bid on some amazing silent auction items graciously donated by local businesses. The event will also include Santa’s Workshop, and on the morning of the final day, kids will have the chance to skate with Santa while enjoying a cup of delicious hot chocolate and a treat.

“ARCH Hospice is excited to be back for another amazing year of festive décor! We can’t say thank you enough to everyone who supported the event last year and are eager to see the trees and wreaths this year! We want to thank all of our sponsors who have joined in on the event this far, and a special thank you to the team at The Machine Shop for allowing us to use their venue to create a Winter Wonderland for the community to enjoy for years to come,” says event committee for Illuminate the Season

We would greatly appreciate your support for this event. Here is how you can help:

• Sponsor the event 
• Sponsor a tree
• Donate an item for the celebration raffle 
• Attend the event 
• Spread the word

We want to acknowledge that while the holidays are a time for joy, laughter, and celebration, they can also be rather difficult and emotional for those who have experienced loss. This year, we want to provide our community with the opportunity to honour and memorialize those who are no longer with us. With your purchase of a personalized ornament dedicated to those you have lost, in return, our team will be placing a 'forever in our hearts' ornament on our Memorial Tree to honour your loved one.
