On Wednesday, Nov. 1, the 56-foot-tall silver fir Christmas tree was delivered to Toronto's Distillery District. The tree’s arrival signals the upcoming return of The Distillery Winter Village, which kicks off on Nov. 16.On Wednesday, the tree was loaded in on a flatbed truck, then placed in Trinity Square at The Distillery District by crane.
This year’s tree was sourced from Drysdale’s Tree Farm in Egbert, Ont., located just one hour north of Toronto, and is set to be the tallest one ever. Over the next two weeks, designers from DIOR will come in and design and decorate the tree with almost 40,000 lights and all of the beautiful custom-made ornaments, said Rik Ocvirk, vice president of events at the Distillery District.
Ocvirk said while the planning process takes months, the decorating takes 16 days to complete or around “4,000 people hours” to get all of the lights, balls, ornaments and the big star on top.“It’s a lot of work for a lot of people, but bit’s a lot of fun and we’re very happy to do it,” said Ocvirk.Ozempic maker faces proposed class action lawsuit alleging ‘dangerous side effects’
