Envision Financial
Lights the Lake

The choir sang, the snowflakes gently floated to the

ground and thousands of spectators watched as Santa

Claus helped Coquitlam Mayor Jon Kingsbury Light

the Lake. The inaugural Envision Financial Light the
Lake Christmas Festival saw 30,000 LED lights hung

on street lamps and trees around Coquitlam’s Lafarge

Lake.

Organized by the Douglas College Foundation and

Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation, the festival also

featured a Christmas market and decorated vehicle

display. Guests were treated to musical entertainment

on the main stage, including the Douglas College

Children’s Community Choir, as well as strolling

carolers

The event is a fundraiser for Douglas College and

Eagle Ridge Hospital foundations. The 2nd annual
festival is scheduled for Sunday, December 3, 2006.
