Joy is such a valuable part of life and so many people go without it at Christmas time. For the second year in a row, we were blessed to sponsor several families from a low-income housing community in Vancouver, in partnership with Union Gospel Mission, to attend Bright Nights. The families enjoyed a night out at Bright Nights in Stanley Park and rode the Train together, seeing all the amazing light displays. Was an evening filled with laughter, memories and Christmas joy.About Bright NightsVancouver’s Bright Nights has been running at Stanley Park since 1997 and is today one of Western Canada’s largest and most famous Christmas attractions.Admission to Bright Nights is by donation with proceeds benefiting the BC Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund. The Burn Fund does valuable work to support victims of fires and educates the public on fire safety. It also sends child burn victims to summer camps and provides support and accommodations to families of burn victims in the hospital. We look forward to sending more families next Christmas. Bringing more joy and supporting The Burn Fund at the same time!Check out the below video to learn more about the Burn Fund.
It was another great quarter for our pre-teen and teen programs. Even though our evening programs went on pause for the summer months, we still kept these members busy with Summer Day Camp
