Childrens Musician Katie Brock Music for Kids 

Katie is a children’s musician from West Vancouver, BC. Locals know her from her early childhood West Side Music Together classes at the Gleneagles Community Centre, or from performances at community events all across the North Shore.  Katie is formally known as “Ginger” from the children’s entertainment duo “Ginger and Snap”.

Katie delights in performing for children. She thrives on seeing their faces light up with the joy of music. Children are drawn to her boundless energy, warm caring heart and goofy sense of humour. And kids love singing along to her fun and catchy up-beat songs.

Katie has a vast tool box of ways to play with music making it fun and accessible for children and their parents. She is well versed in getting children (and grown-ups) involved and feeling comfortable with singing and dancing their hearts out.

1:00–2:00pm
– Photos with Santa

Straight from the North Pole, Santa is on an early expedition to make sure Rudolph remembers the way for Christmas Eve. While he’s here, he’d love to meet you, hear your Christmas wishes, and pose for a festive photo or two!

Photos are by donation (starting at $20), with all proceeds going to Canuck Place Children’s Hospice—in loving memory of John Galvani, a beloved young member of our parish who brought joy to everyone he met.

Come say hello, share your letter, and help spread a little extra Christmas love this year.
