Whistler fire hall’s Douglas fir on Village Gate Boulevard will be the gathering point Monday, Dec. 11 for anyone wanting to show support for Canadian troops stationed overseas.
A tree-lighting ceremony will include hot chocolate and cookies served in the fire hall.
Local resident Mike Thaxter, whose son Chris returned this year from a stint in Afghanistan, will switch on the lights.
Everyone in the community is invited to the 5:30 p.m. celebration hosted by Mayor Ken Melamed and the municipality.
