The UWindsor entry in Saturday’s Santa Claus parade will offer a Scrooge-eye view, says organizer Sandra Davis. The residence life manager says the float reflects the event’s theme, “A Dickens Christmas.”

“Our spectacular entry depicts Scrooge’s view on Christmas morning,” she says. “As he throws open the shutters, he looks across the town square to see people frolicking in traditional festive activities.”

Volunteers from residence and the University of Windsor Students’ Alliance will skate around a Christmas tree, build a snowman, or join in carolling.

Certain people may be genetically predisposed to suffering negative side effects of living near wind turbines, according to an engineering professor studying the problem.

The University Bookstore’s temporary storefront in Devonshire Mall is open through the holidays, reports marketing manager Martin Deck, and this year it is better than ever.

“It’s bigger, it’s brighter, and it’s better-located,” says Deck: “Right across from Cinnabon in the food court!”

The store will be open during the mall’s regular hours until Boxing Day, December 26. It offers all the best-selling faculty sweatshirts and a wide variety of other styles of clothing, including a couple of mall-only sweatshirts for just $15.

It has been a Windsor tradition since 1976, and the Festival of Christmas choral concert is guaranteed to get you into the holiday spirit.

The University of Windsor School of Music presents the event on Sunday, December 4, at 3 p.m. at Assumption Church, featuring the glorious voices of the University Singers and the Chamber Choir, accompanied by pianist Alde Calongcagong, harpist Deborah Gabrion, and organist David Palmer.
