Your contributions to the 2020 Lights of Hope have helped us raise more than $3.5 million for Providence Health Care’s greatest needs and the future of St. Paul’s at the Jim Pattison Medical Centre.
Since 1998, Lights of Hope has raised more than $43.5 million, funding urgently needed equipment, life-saving research, community programs, medical teaching initiatives, and other essential patient and resident services that would otherwise not be funded through traditional channels.
Since 1998, we have recognized donors to Lights of Hope and inspired the community to show their support through a spectacular display of lights on St. Paul’s Hospital.
Today, Lights of Hope is a holiday tradition that brings hundreds of thousands of visitors to St. Paul’s to see the display.
The display is built by hundreds of volunteers using donated materials – including 10 kilometres of lights!
According to BC Hydro, despite its size and scope, Lights of Hope uses very little energy.
A big part of this energy efficiency is the use of LED bulbs, which account for 60% of the lights.
To operate the full display results in an energy bill of just $65 each night.
