Last night (Saturday) thieves broke into the BC Forest Discovery Centre and stole a significant number of decorative lights and extension cords. The theft targeted the Ranger Station lighting display along the Trans-Canada Highway, a key part of the Centre’s seasonal setup.
“As a non-profit facility, we really cannot afford to have items stolen,” said Carol Miller, Manager of the BC Forest Discovery Centre. “Having thieves take all the Ranger Station lighting and extension cords has shocked our staff and volunteers, who dedicate long hours to creating a magical experience for the community.”
The Centre is now left questioning whether it can afford to relight the building at all. “We’re debating whether we should try to relight the building or leave it bare,” Miller added.
If you are approached to purchase lights or see the stolen lights installed elsewhere, please contact the BC Forest Discovery Centre or report the sighting to your local RCMP
