Canton Woods participants have been enjoying the holiday season. The center is decorated and dressed up for the festivities! We had successful tree lighting ceremony with musical entertainment by the Village Singers. Our own Gloria Love is providing seasonal music on the piano for our lunch guests. The Christmas Spirit is certainly in the air! We wish all of our friends and neighbors in the Greater Baldwinsville Community a very merry Christmas!
The winter weather has arrived. Listed below are reminders of policies for inclement weather.
Weather related closings:
