CHRISTMAS 2007 AT THE

WEST COAST RAILWAY HERITAGE PARK

The event of the year for the West Coast Railway Heritage Park in 
Squamish occurs in the month of December, as the twelve acre site gets 
transformed into a wonderland of lights, music, characters and other 
entertaining and exciting activities. It’s our Annual Christmas Lights 
in the Park celebration, and this year’s will be the biggest and best ever!

On December 15^th , we will be hosting our 2^nd Annual Breakfast with 
Santa and Mrs. Claus. The delicious breakfast will be prepared and
