ENDING HOMELESSNESS BEAUTIFULLY

Since 2008 Dundarave Festival of Lights Society has been raising awareness and action toward solving homelessness on our North Shore.

CA$300.00 - CA$400.00
There's nowhere else like it. And tens of thousands of people make their way through the holidays to be part of it.


Every tree in the Forest of Miracles is a beacon of hope, lighting up the longest nights of the year. Let your tree shine for everyone you love.


The Forest of Miracles allows us as a community to end homelessness beautifully. Since 2008, the Forest as allowed us together to raise $1 million in charitable support for the work of the Lookout Foundation right here on the North Shore.
