Nothing says the holiday season is here like festive lights on houses and businesses around town.
BC Transit, Squamish Transit, and the District of Squamish are once again putting on its traditional lights tour on Sunday, Dec. 19 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
"This year has been an extremely challenging year for so many British Columbians. Now more than ever is the time to come together and give back to lift the spirits of family, friends and community in the upcoming weeks," notes BC Transit in its news release. "Across the province in a number of transit systems, there will be events to safely bring people together to spread some holiday cheer."
In Squamish, buses will pick up passengers at 5:30 p.m. from Shannon Falls Retirement Home, The Manors, The Cedars and Eagle Grove lobby, taking folks onboard to see some of the displays in town.
The Squamish Transit operators will provide hot chocolate and doughnuts.
In accordance with the Provincial Health Officer, masks are required on all BC Transit Buses, including for this tour.
