Lights for Life Community Lighting – 6:30 PM Wednesday
The 30th annual Lights for Life presented by PEI Mutual Insurance Company is WEDNESDAY NIGHT at Prince County Hospital! The community is encouraged to join us for the first official in-person lighting ceremony since 2019! Just after 6 PM, people will start to arrive, and warm drinks and treats for the children will be on hand while the PCH staff choir entertains the crowd. Make sure to pick up your free Lights for Life keepsake book featuring all the dedications made this year.
At 6:30 pm, there is a short program to thank sponsors and announce the total funds raised for 2024. Then the magic truly begins! Enjoy a beautiful display of lights that covers the entire front of the hospital – all choreographed to music. The Island’s biggest light show is the longest we’ve ever had!
PARKING NOTES
There will be limited onsite parking for the elderly and those with accessibility needs. For the safety of the crowd, all other attendees are asked to park at the Superstore and Walmart and walk up Roy Boates Avenue to the event. Also for crowd safety, please note that through-traffic will not be permitted during showtime (approx. 5 – 7:15 pm). Apart from attendees, visitors and staff, traffic will be redirected from MacEwen onto Key Avenue.
VISITORS AND STAFF
All staff and visitors arriving at PCH between 5:00 and 7 PM will be directed to the PCH staff parking lot on the west side of the building. Staff parked in front of PCH throughout the day are fine as long as you leave before 5:30 pm. Otherwise, please use the staff parking lot.
