What’s happening and what’s not for the New Year:

There are some small New Years Eve and New Years events taking place. You can find a list in the London tourism website.

The city is scrapping a New Years Eve celebration in Victoria Park for the second year in a row due to concerns about the highly contagious Omicron variant, which has been causing an explosion of COVID-19 cases across the province.

in a tweet last weekThe city said the decision to cancel an in-person celebration was “difficult but necessary” and came in response to the variance and increased pandemic restrictions.

“We were hoping to once again host an in-person celebration at Victoria Park,” the city tweeted.

“In the interest of public health and safety and to do our part to limit the spread of COVID-19, we cannot do this. We know this will be disappointing news for many. Our hope is that we can meet in person again in 2022. “

The colored lights in Victoria Park will go out on January 1st.

On another holiday note …

With Christmas now in the rearview mirror, the city reminds residents that, like last year, this year there won’t be a special collection of Christmas trees and other winter veggies on the sidewalk.

The curbside pickup option was removed in early 2020 as a cost-saving measure.

Those wishing to dispose of their tree are asked to drop it off at one of the city’s EnviroDepots, and to remove all Christmas supplies before leaving the tree.
