St. Paul's Lights of Hope

At the darkest time of year, when patients, residents, families, and caregivers need hope more than ever, Lights of Hope shines with all of the joy and wonder of the holiday season; where every star represents a generous donation from someone like you.

We are thrilled to welcome you to our 28th annual Lights of Hope lighting celebration on Thursday, November 27, 2025, outside St. Paul’s Hospital. Kick off the holiday season at our free, family-friendly event, where you can see the fabulous display light up for the first time in 2025, experience a fireworks show, take a holiday photo with Santa and Mrs. Claus, listen to live holiday favourites, and so much more!

Lights of Hope is one of St. Paul's Foundation's largest community fundraising campaigns. This year’s lights will shine bright from November 27, 2025, to January 02, 2026.
