19 Wing Comox: Heritage Air Park Christmas Lights

2020/12/02 | |

“19 Wing Comox created the Comox Air Force Museum’s Heritage Air Park Christmas lights as way to raise the morale of our members and the morale of our Comox Valley community during the holiday season.

Initially, we had hoped to permit the public to walk around the air park, enjoying the lights up close while adhering to provincial restrictions. As those restrictions have now tightened and no public gatherings are permitted, we made a decision to continue with the decoration of our historical aircraft and share the holiday spirit with the community from the road.

We invite the public to come drive by the air park to see the decorated aircraft, and ask that you remain in your vehicles. Please do not to leave your vehicles for the sake of your health, and of public health. We look forward to turning the Heritage Air Park Christmas lights into an annual tradition in the Comox Valley and hope that, next year, the public will be able to come into the air park to enjoy the aircraft up close.”

Grieving the death of a loved one is never easy, and can be especially difficult during holidays. For some,
the feeling of loss makes family connections during the holidays even more important. Others may feel
the need to find an entirely different approach to holidays, or just feel numb and disengaged. Each
person’s experience is unique, and all are normal grief responses. By merging Blue Christmas with
Celebrate a Life, families can honour loved ones or acknowledge the absence in their lives during this
time.
