An online fundraising campaign has helped light up Ladner Village.

The Light up Ladner Village campaign is certainly adding a colourful flare to the holiday season.

Following a gofundmecampaign, which was started in August by the Ladner Business Association, the first of the lights went up in the village in October.

"The campaign has been very well received," said Jill McKnight from South Coast Casuals and a LBA board member. "A lot of people have been happy and excited to see it. We have had a few challenges - little things - to get the right timers installed and we have those fixed now. We have fixed a few cords as well, so we are figuring things out."

The lights start at Elliott Street and 48th Avenue, then come along 48th Avenue to Delta Street and down Delta Street to Trenant Street. Lights have been bought to take them all the way to Chisholm Street and the hope is those lights will be installed soon.

McKnight said the fundraising campaign is ongoing.

"I think the atmosphere that it has created in the village is very positive. We've had so many comments about that," she said. "The support from the community has been fantastic. We live in such a great community."
