onetheless, with each passing day, we get ever closer and closer to the most wonderful time of the year. Say goodbye to November and hello to Christmas on Friday, Nov. 29 in Downtown Duncan. Be there to welcome Santa as he arrives by fire truck, and be sure to visit him in his Santa Station for a photo. The Smiley Family Band will entertain the crowds from City Square stage and the Community Stage will feature community singers, musicians and dancers. Chestnuts will be roasting and lights will be twinkling from the community Christmas trees. Find the perfect gift in one of the many delightful shops. Join in and spread the holiday cheer as you hitch a ride on the horsedrawn wagons for a Christmas carol sing-along, then treat yourself to a hot beverage and bite to eat from one of the many Downtown eateries or concessions set up for the evening by various local non-profit organizations. At 8 p.m., the evening will culminate in a dazzling finale as fireworks light up the sky from the roof of Duncan’s iconic City Hall. Christmas Kick-off is a very special evening. The community gathers Downtown in a festive spirit to welcome in the holiday season. This little Downtown sparkles and glitters with Christmas lights; the shops stay open late to warmly welcome you in from the cold. The charm of Downtown Duncan truly shines on this special night! Friday, Nov. 29 — join Downtown Duncan for a twinkly, sparkly magical evening!

A few of our favourite things A
t Cowichan Valley Running, we love making things easy for you. This includes finding the perfect gift for the runner on your list. To keep it simple, these are a few of our favourite things — sure to delight your favourite runner. ULTRA-SOFT BASE LAYERS
The closer to the skin, the softer it has to be. A body-hugging base layer wicks away sweat and moisture, helping to regulate body temperature — no matter how low the thermostat drops. WATERPROOF GLOVES
More specifically, hybrid gloves! How about a glove that has a wind-proof, waterproof mitt that stashes away when not in use? Our best-selling Craft Hybrid Weather Glove does just that. These gloves are the best option for walking, running, biking and more. TOQUES
Don’t leave home without them. Toques (or beanies) keep your head warm, and they also keep your ears protected from cold and your hair out of your face. For
night runners, toques keep headlamps comfortably in place, too. SOCKS
Runners can never have enough pairs of socks. Technical running socks keep runners’ feet warm, dry and happy. Happy feet = happy running. Bonus feature: the more socks runners have, the less laundry they have to do. TECH WASH
Speaking of laundry, ever notice how once a technical garment becomes stinky, it stays stinky? Ditch the detergent and the smell with tech wash. Our fave is Nathan Power Wash. It removes locked-in orders, restores fabric performance and is eco-friendly and biodegradable. THERE YOU HAVE IT
Our version of whiskers on kittens and warm woollen mittens, but it only just scratches the surface. Visit us online at: cowichanvalleyrunning.com for more ideas! Better yet, visit us in-store and let us help you find the perfect gift. cowichanvalleyrunning.com

t PatrYka, we love jewellery’s ability to accent the attire of elegant, fashionable women who know what they want and who like to stand out in the crowd. When we found the ZSISKA Jewellery, we discovered they share our vision and craft truly beautiful, eye-catching pieces. Founder Siska Schippers was born in Amsterdam and worked as a European gold and silversmith before she decided to make handmade resin jewellery, home decor and gifts under the ZSISKA brand. She moved to Thailand where she and 14 local women started to work with resin in a studio in Cha-Am, Thailand. It took several years for the team to master the material through trial and error, but over time, they grew ZSISKA into an international brand that now employs nearly 100 people in their professional jewellery factory, who pour, paint, polish and knot every bead by hand — with love and care. Siska and her design team find their inspiration from a diversity of arts, natures, shapes, colours and fashion trends. Twice a year, they craft about a dozen unique new collections — works of art made from clear-as-glass, light-weight resin that last for years. Have a look at our ZSISKA Collection along with other notable fashion jewellery lines such as MERX, BB CREATIONS and ROBERT CERINS by visiting our website. Visit Patryka Designs in the Mill Bay Centre, #315-2720 Mill Bay Rd. patrykadesigns.com
NOTHING LEAVES A LASTING IMPRESSION LIKE THE GIFT OF BEAUTIFUL JEWELLERY GIVEN TO EXPRESS LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, SENTIMENT, OR TO CELEBRATE A SPECIAL OCCASION.
