Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring (English words)
Carol of the bells (English words)

The final pieces sung by both choirs will be three Halleluias:

There will also be two audience carols.

This year’s event will also be a fundraiser for the Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign.

We hope that many of you will be able to join us. Do not hesitate to bring family and friends."
