There are a couple of family events scheduled in our region to ring in the new year.
From 3 to 8 on Monday you can bring in the New Year, skating in one of three sessions at the Island Savings Centre.
The free celebration will have something for the whole family, including skating, face painting, a bouncy castle, a photo booth, sports, and other new attractions.
The early countdown will take place just before 8 and will be complete with noise makers, prizes, and the always popular balloon drop.
