It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and a new date has been set for the highly anticipated holiday light up event the BC Legislature.
Two weeks ago, the 37th annual holiday light up at the BC Legislature was postponed due to ongoing protests in the area.
On the afternoon of November 24th, VicPD announced they anticipated disruptions downtown as protestors planned to march throughout the downtown core.
As a result, the annual holiday light up was postponed until further notice. VicPD also deployed additional, temporary CCTV cameras to monitor the downtown area as the protests occur.
