Bright Nights in Stanley Park The Vancouver Park Board and the BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund have together created nights of magic and illumination in the middle of wondrous Stanley Park.

A Christmas family tradition for over 20 years, the train wends its way through the forest past Santa's workshop, an international village and the much loved Moose in the middle of the glistening waterway. 3:00 to 10:00 pm Daily until Jan 3rd.

Lions Club Annual Tree Chipping I usually get in big trouble every year as I rail against cutting down live trees for Christmas. However, if you did, and have a live tree, you'll want to make sure it makes it into the compost. One way to do that is to get take it to the Lions Club tree chipping location near you. Support the Lions Clubs by bringing your live, cut tree to the annual Christmas tree chipping event. Donations of cash and non-perishable food items will be distributed to local charities. Locations:
