Windsor crews building massive holiday light display at Jackson Park
By Ennis Liu
Windsor citizens can look forward to $1.5-million worth of lights going up at Jackson Park.
It’s a controversial legacy project that Mayor Drew Dilkens hopes will leave people wowed.
The mayor scaled back the cost from $3-million after complaints from the public.
The plan includes wrapping hundreds of trees with thousands of lights along the paved pathway.
An 18-metre tree with lights will be in in the sunken gardens surrounded with decorations.
City staff also suggested a large display with reindeer and a Santa sleigh.
An opening lighting ceremony is planned for Dec. 8 at 6:30 p.m.
The light display will be up until Jan. 7.
