Please ask for permission before use.A Little HistoryThe early focus of the Festival was to decorate just the downtown core but this was soon changed to include Coronation Mall and then to expand to the blocks surrounding the downtown area. The past couple of years has seen a great physical change to Ladysmith's downtown, which has created many new opportunities for the Festival of Lights volunteers to create and add new lights and decorations.Ladysmith & District Credit Union fireworksWe acknowledge the financial assistance of the Province of British Columbia but probably the biggest 'sponsors', though, are the residents of Ladysmith. Over the years the ever increasing core of volunteers has gone the longest way in helping to make Ladysmith famous for its annual Light Up and its community spirit and to also make people aware of what they had in their own downtown and to shop local.For all of this assistance, the Festival of Lights is extremely grateful
The popular old adage ''history repeats itself'' is certainly prevalent in describing our Wing's activity during the past several years. The early history leads us through the formation of 888 (Komox) Wing of the ''Royal Canadian Air Force Association'' and very accurately mentions the popular social events that took place during those years as well as leaving a living image in our minds of the hard work performed by volunteers in building our great facility up until our official opening in March 1992.
Good planning is the key to success in many things in life, and being ready to care for ourselves and our families following an emergency is one area where planning can make a life-altering difference.The Comox Valley Emergency Program functions in partnership with Comox, Courtenay, Cumberland, and the Comox Valley Regional District to provide coordinated emergency programming to the entire valley.The purpose of integrating the emergency program is to ensure that each area's transcend geographic and political borders.

Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue has played a vital role in the Comox Valley for over 35 years and we look forward to many more years of service.We are a volunteer organization providing a wide range of search and rescue services, including rope and swift water rescue, avalanche rescue, and first aid. Our coverage area ranges from Oyster River in the north to Cook Creek in the south and from Buttle Lake in the west to the Georgia Strait in the east, including Denman and Hornby Islands. We also work closely with other Search and Rescue groups to provide mutual aid to Vancouver Island communities.Our highly committed volunteers are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In 2011, we collectively contributed over 10,000 hours to search and rescue operations, educational programs, and community events. In early 2012, we recruited 20 new volunteers for the upcoming Ground Search and Rescue course.
