Canyon Lights Gives Back
Canyon Lights continues its support of the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund with partial proceeds from admissions donated to support fire and burn education in schools throughout British Columbia, as well as Burn Camp.
The District of North Vancouver Fire Fighters Charitable Society will be onsite again this year to help collect donations from the public, on behalf of the Burn Fund.
To date, Canyon Lights has donated over $610,000 to this worthy cause. Additionally, admissions help Capilano continue to host the Twelve Nights of Christmas, offering passes to local charities.
