The 37th annual Winter Lights Across Canada celebration will take place tomorrow (Thursday, December 7), beginning at 5:30 p.m. in St. John’s in the lobby of the Confederation Building, East Block.

The Honourable John G. Abbott, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, will join a local family from Chalker Place to activate the lights on Confederation Hill.

This event will be hosted by Gerri Lynn Mackey of VOCM and entertainment will be provided by Sarah Loveys, Bishop Feild Elementary Grade 4 Choir, and the Royal Newfoundland Regiment Band.

The Winter Lights Across Canada celebration is an annual event where each province and territory decorates its capital city and holds its own lighting ceremony. The initiative contributes to a nationwide effort to symbolically link Canadians together for the holiday season.
