North Vancouver Christmas Lights for Charity

**Update: Opening night Saturday Dec. 2nd will be 6:30 p.m. All other nights will start at 5:30 p.m. Lights turn off at 11 p.m.**

Happy Holidays!  From 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. daily until the last night of January 2nd, the Christmas Lights for Charity will be illuminated and 100% of both the cash and food donations go in support of the Harvest Project, Shriners Care for Kids and BC Epilepsy Society.  The house is located at 4967 Chalet Place, at the top of Skyline Drive, in North Vancouver. 

The Ribalkin/Viau family are at it again – covering their roof, gardens, gutters, railings and driveway in thousands upon of lights, blow-up displays, Christmas decorations and holiday cheer. From 2010 to 2016, this family display has raised $65,252.38 and 769 bags of groceries. But this total is hopefully just the beginning, said John Ribalkin, owner of the house. “Last year, the display raised $18,472.22 and  182 bags of groceries,” said John. “This year, we hope to hit $25,000.” The family gives 100% of all proceeds to two returning charities, the Harvest Project and Shriners Cares for Kids. The overhead is covered by Aurore and John’s business, Verico Nova Financial Services Inc. In 2016, they added a third charity, which is BC Epilepsy Society.
