Gallery: Richmond dog memorial, city displays lights up for winter holidays

Houses, trees, Light Up Richmond event brightens neighbourhood despite COVID-19.

With so many Christmas events cancelled, many people are going all out with their Christmas displays to bring about some seasonal cheer. But it’s not just trees and houses that are getting an extra sparkle, Steveston’s dog memorial garden has also been illuminated for the holidays.

Steveston’s “Dog Gone” rock, a small memorial garden for dogs that has passed on, was recently decorated with sparkling light displays by Richmond resident Doug Mitchell.

A snowman, reindeer and sled display light up the dark corner of the South Dyke Trail and No. 2 Road. Several trees around the garden are also lit up.
