Presented by It has already been a couple of weeks since entering a new decade, but the Lunar New Year celebrations are only just beginning! This Saturday, January 25, marks the start of the Chinese New Year and Canadians getting ready to celebrate the Year of the Rat — the first zodiac animal in the 12-year cycle, representing the beginning of a new day, signifying wealth and surplus. Lunar New Year is a great time for celebrating, which is why Cadillac Fairview wants to help you and your friends and family ring in Lunar New Year at its CF Fairview Mall and CF Markville locations! Be sure to mark January 25 and January 26 in your calendars.
