Light Up Parksville

Light Up Parksville Civic and Technology Centre

The exterior of the Parksville Civic and Technology Centre has multi-colour capable LED lights which can be programmed to change colours in support and recognition of various causes, events, cultural celebrations, and holidays. The lighting system is pre-programmed for certain annual events. If there is no recognition event scheduled, the default lighting is set to Parksville blue. Lights come on automatically at dusk when it is sufficiently dark and automatically turn off the next day when the sun rises.

Organizations wishing to request lighting of the Parksville Civic and Technology Centre (100 Jensen Avenue East) in support of a particular cause or event should complete the lighting request form and email to communications@parksville.ca.
