Light the Lake celebrations at Coquitlam's Lafarge Lake.

November 26, 2009

Join BC Hydro at holiday events around B.C.

BC Hydro’s Power the Games Tour will be at Coquitlam's Lafarge Lake on December 6 for the fifth annual Light the Lake celebrations. It's just one of several fun B.C. events the Tour will hit in the final weeks of 2009.

Light the Lake is Tri-Cities' biggest holiday celebration, and it's hosted by Team Power Smart Leader Steve Darling. The event kicks off at 3 p.m. with a fun-filled holiday market, BC Hydro’s conservation lab and 2010 Winter Games-themed activities followed by an amazing LED light-up ceremony.

Join BC Hydro, Darling and the Douglas College Foundation at this free event in support of student aid at Douglas College.

Rogers Santa Claus Parade, Vancouver

The sixth Annual Rogers Santa Claus Parade is set for Sunday, December 6 at 1 p.m. on the streets of downtown Vancouver.

Join us to celebrate the upcoming holiday season. Community Outreach representatives will be in the parade, along with some very lucky customers.  Be sure to dress warmly and bring your raingear -  umbrellas block the view of spectators.

Consider bringing non-perishable food donations with you on Parade Day. Pass your non-perishable food items to the front of the curb anywhere along the parade route prior to the start of the parade. They will be collected and put in the “Spirit Train” as it goes by you at the very beginning of the parade. The Greater Vancouver Food Bank is in need of high protein items such as tuna and canned meat, pasta, diapers, canned hardy soups and baby formula.
