LIGHTS AT LAFARGE
Saturday and Sunday, Lafarge Lake, Coquitlam
This is one of the last weekends to visit Lafarge Lake. I highly recommend it! Head to Coquitlam and enjoy a beautifully lit loop around the lake. Stroller friendly and great for all ages. It runs until the end of January.
CANYON LIGHTS

This is also one of the last weekends to visit the holiday lights at the Capilano Suspension Bridge. It’s a great outing with the kids, climb up among the trees and enjoy all of the gorgeous light displays.
