It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas at the Plaza Pointe-Claire.
Several community groups were hard at work, decorating Christmas trees at the West Island mall on Friday evening.
And while the mood was festive, a serious competition is underway.
The community organizations are taking part in the West Island Community Shares (WICS) annual Christmas tree contest.
