Wildlights chugs into station for season

The 17th Annual Wildlights Festival kicked off Friday at the B.C. Wildlife Park until Jan. 4. Local favourite Uncle Chris the Clown will be on stage to entertain the young and young at heart.

Hear story time with Obe the Elf, find your way out of the holiday maze, see the wolves get fed, a laser light show plus so much more. Last, but not least, the best way to see all the lights is by riding the miniature train. For more information http://www.bczoo.org.
