As a result of the prevailing circumstances in our society, we unfortunately have to inform that the traditional Christmas Eve transmission with SAQ is cancelled.<\/p>\n

We find it sad to have to make this decision, but see it as a necessary measure to protect everyone involved. While waiting for the next transmission with SAQ, there are several\u00a0YouTube clips<\/a>\u00a0from previous transmissions that you can watch.<\/p>\n
