Lighting Up the Night

Date:

Eden Foundation hosted its annual Light Up the Night celebration Sunday in Winkler, offering an afternoon of bonfires, carnival games, hay rides, and a Christmas market and wrapping up the day with a tree lighting ceremony.

There was also an opportunity to help Eden fill its giant stocking with socks, gloves, and basic toiletries to support people receiving care at the Eden Mental Health Centre, many of whom arrive with very little.

The entire day sought to raise awareness about the mental health challenges many face during the holiday season, and to provide a show of support for them from the community.
