We can’t wait to see your lights twinkle in the night.  Linden Woods has always been known for community spirit. Let’s make this year’s light competition our best ever.

You'll be able to check out the new gym in person - but that's not all. There's a new reception hall, office, washrooms and an incredible kitchen. It's our new Community Centre!

 

To get you excited we've managed to sneak a few secret photos of the hidden interior for you to see. (click picture for larger view)

 

You'll enter through the brand new reception hall, which eventually will hold our celebratory mementos and sponsorship recognitions. 

 

When you enter the Gym itself, you'll be astonished - it's so shiny!  

 

The kitchen is fully equipped with ovens, refrigerators and other equipment suitable for almost any type of event. 

 

Basketball fans and players will drool over the incredible floor and six nets.

Bleachers have been installed for a large number of spectators at any event. 

 

There's even a hidden Green Room!
