Saskatoon's Enchanted Forest: A legacy of lights

• Share by Email
• Share on Facebook
• Share on LinkedIn
• Share via Text Message

SASKATOON — It has been 25 years of sparkling lights and luminous fundraising for Saskatoon’s Enchanted Forest popular holiday attraction. Did you know that the BHP Enchanted Forest is one of Canada’s largest and longest-running Christmas Holiday Light Shows?

In an interview Hugh Vassos, Marketing Director, states, “The organizers started as the two foundations along with a couple key contributors and that structure has lasted for the past 25 years.”

Vassos says they are celebrating their 25th anniversary with the addition of three new light displays. The new additions include the BHP Christmas Around the Globe display, the tunnel of lights and the prairie portraits.

“Along with the new displays, there is an extended drive-thru display stretching to 2.5 kms.”

How has the Enchanted Forest evolved since its first year? The EF committee says the biggest evolution has been the addition of new lights displays, now including up to 75 custom-built images, as well as changing all the lights to LED making the display more energy efficient.

The popular holiday attraction in Saskatoon blends its dazzling festive displays with fundraising for the Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation and the Saskatoon Zoo Foundation, with $7M in net proceeds shared for these causes to date.

Vassos says there are several highlights they are proud of, “Being able to provide the community with an event that has become a family tradition since 1999 and was the only event available to attend during the holidays in 2020. Also the spectacular displays that stretch out through the beautiful urban forest that is the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park.”

As with any outdoor displays in Saskatchewan during winter, the major challenge each year is the weather, as it is so unpredictable. Some attendees say this year’s brown December eliminates the snow capturing the essence of the lighting at night however it has not deterred people from coming.

A team of approximately 50 people starts set up in September and take down follows the last day of the attraction’s opening in January

Saskatoon’s Rotary Club provides an excellent partnership, taking care of managing the front gate for the event.

Sweden’s Team Hasselborg, while not on the ice competing at the Grand Slam of Curling in Saskatoon, took in the popular Saskatoon holiday attraction and posted video to their team's Instagram page, stating, “Saskatoon is a beautiful city, day and night.”

Vassos says, “We host bus tours, large and small, and attract all sorts of groups for Christmas parties. The BHP Enchanted Forest has become a source of tremendous pride for Saskatoon residents. Residents become tour guides for visiting friends and relatives over the holiday season.”

The event just doesn’t just boost Christmas spirit and the fundraising initiatives; attracting over 75,000 visitors through the gates also results in economic spinoffs for Saskatoon in the hospitality and retail industry.

Vassos says, “Over the years we have received amazing feedback particularly that this event has become part of so many people’s family holiday traditions. The event is truly for everyone and provides enjoyment to thousands as well brightens everyone’s mental well-being. “

Noah’s Ark, the fireworks, and Santa’s workshop are deemed some of the most popular displays with the light tunnels also becoming a new favourite.

Online reviews corroborate the 25th anniversary theme of the Enchanted Forest being part of a family tradition. A number of reviewers said they were introduced to the holiday spectacular as kids and are now taking their own families to be part of the magical lights display. Spending time with the family really lights up the whole holiday season, and Saskatoon’s Enchanted Forest offers this merry and bright opportunity.

BHP Enchanted Forest kicks off with walking tour tonight

One of the longest-running Christmas light shows in Canada, and a popular Saskatoon tradition is coming back for its 25th Anniversary Celebration.

The drive-thru event begins on Saturday and runs until January 7th from 5:30-10:00pm each night, and Vassos encourages participants to buy a car pass. Car passes can be purchased for $30 at any Saskatoon Co-op or Shopper’s Drug Mart. Admission is $35 at the gate.

Best Christmas Lights Displays in Saskatoon

Share this article

Whether you’re an experienced electrician or you don’t know your AC from your DC, one thing’s for sure – you’re a fan of beautiful Christmas lights displays. Quite apart from the wonderful sense of nostalgia that accompanies the familiar faces, toasty-warm gatherings, and dazzling lights, Christmas lights displays are a fantastic opportunity to create some treasured family memories. And if you live in or around the Saskatoon area, you’re in for a treat indeed.

There’s no shortage of creative, visually gorgeous Christmas lights displays to choose from. Read on to discover some of the very best seasonal events the region has to offer. 

CHRISTMAS GLOW SASKATOON: SANTA’S LOST PRESENTS

Set against the stunning background of a million sparkling lights — and scored to the invigorating tune of live music — the Christmas Glow Saskatoon event looks like it’s going to be something rather special this year. A musical light tunnel and the child-friendly Christmas Light Gardens are just two examples of the incredible feats being accomplished with the lights themselves, while the best of Saskatoon’s own food and craft culture will be on display at the vendor’s markets. 

Best of all, there’s a licensed on-site bar for the adults to kick back while the kids make the most of the numerous playgrounds and interactive activities available.

2706 CLINSKILL CHRISTMAS DISPLAY

A clear favourite to be included in anybody’s list of the best Christmas lights displays to be found in Saskatoon, the house at 2706 Clinskill has been making a name for itself in this niche for a number of years now. Regularly topping lists of the most impressive displays in Canada, this event’s main draw is the incredibly well-orchestrated link between the lights themselves and the radio station that operates from the same location. Everything is synchronized together, which makes for a dazzling audio-visual spectacle.

THE ENCHANTED FOREST: SASKATOON FORESTRY FARM PARK

Presented jointly this year by BHP Billiton and Saskatoon Forestry Farm, the Enchanted Forest is an annual event that Canadians everywhere can look forward to since it usually makes the list of the largest Christmas lights displays in the entire country. There are tons of attractions on offer to delight the whole family, including a whole miniature street dedicated to candy (the aptly named Candy-Cane Lane), Santa and all his reindeer, and a good old-fashioned 12 Days of Christmas event too. 

The event gets added to every single year, so even if you’ve been a repeat attendee over the last while, it’s worth stopping by and having a look – you never know what surprises you will see.

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE: COLLEGE DRIVE

Occupying a corner right next to Clarence Avenue, which itself is pretty impressive when it comes to Christmas lights displays, the Ronald McDonald House goes all-out every holiday season to outdo the previous year’s efforts. Kids will love the creative twist on Christmas classics, while visitors of all ages will get a huge kick out of just how colourful the lights themselves are. 

Christmas lights displays come in a lot of shapes and sizes, and in Saskatoon, this is as true as anywhere, with residential property-owners rubbing shoulders with large businesses in an effort to outdo the competition. Spread evenly as they are around the Saskatoon area, odds are there’ll be at least one or two you can get down to without much hassle — so what are you waiting for? There’s no better time than now to start planning your Christmas lights display itinerary.

A must-see Saskatoon Christmas light display is back for another year - this time with 75,000 lights

Scott and Shelly Lambie stand in front of their light display on Clinkskill Drive in Saskatoon. (Alexa Lawlor/CTV Saskatoon)

In December, driving around the city at night often means passing various houses decorated with Christmas lights – but if you’re on Clinkskill Drive in Saskatoon, you can’t miss one house in particular.

Seven years ago, Scott and Shelly Lambie were sitting in front of the TV watching YouTube videos with their daughter. Scott says they were looking at various Christmas light displays, and his daughter said “Hey, you should do that!”

They ordered some lights and a few control boxes and began what would quickly become the Clinkskill Christmas Lights.

This year the display has 75,000 lights, compared to the 25,000 they had in their first year.

Scott said they begin putting the lights up on the roof in September before it snows. In November they begin putting up all of the other lights – which they work on almost every day.

“Usually after work for a couple hours, and put in eight-hour shifts on the weekend and keep going until it’s done,” he said.

Some of the new features this year include the lights wrapping around into a tree that’s about 60 feet high in the backyard, and a new colour pixel tree, each individual light can be programmed to be a different colour.

The couple programs the lights to sync with the FM radio channel 89.7 and people can tune in from their cars, or they can watch from the front sidewalk.

“We’ve got the radio tuned in so they can hear it (from the sidewalk),” Shelly said. “Makes it a little bit easier to get in front of the lights and watch the show.”

The display has become a staple in the city; Scott said last year, Shelly handed out around 700 candy canes – in one night.

“Our five-year-old grandson, we asked what he wanted for Christmas and it was to hand out candy canes (to the people who come to see the lights),” Shelly said.

“I grew up in Saskatoon and we always did the light tour. We didn’t have a lot of money but it was something we could always do. And it’s great to see the kids dancing up and down the sidewalk, so excited to get a candy cane – which is such a little thing.”

Scott Lambie said he’s noticed the kids always enjoy when “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” plays during the light display, while Shelly loves them all.

The lights are on from 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on weeknights and 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends.

The couple warns visitors driving by to be careful to not park in driveways, and to watch out for excited children who may accidentally run onto the road.

They encourage visitors to park down the street on nice nights and walk down to watch the display from the sidewalk.

Justin Timberlake Halts Texas Tour Stop to Help Fan in Need of Assistance: 'House Lights Up'

"We need some assistance right here about five rows back," the *NSYNC star said in a clip shared on social media

Kevin Winter/Getty; Lion Latch/TikTok

Justin Timberlake is looking out for his fans!

On Saturday, June 1, the singer, 43, was performing his 2002 hit "Cry Me a River" at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas when he noticed a fan seemingly needing assistance.

In a video shared on TikTok , Timberlake was seen briefly halting his Forget Tomorrow World Tour performance to check up on the fan in question.

After telling the crowd to "put your hands up" to the song, he tried to get a member of the security team's attention, pointing to the person who appeared to need help.

"House lights up, thank you! Sorry everybody one second... we need some assistance right here about five rows back," the *NSYNC star said.

"Are we OK? No, no problem!" the musician told the fan after they seemingly thanked him for stopping the show to check on them.

"OK, we're OK," Timberlake said while smiling and clapping.

Per TMZ , an eyewitness said paramedics weren't called to the scene and the fan in question later returned to their seat.

The incident came after Timberlake ended a five-year hiatus on April 29, 2024, to kick off his latest world tour at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada.

Timberlake delivered two hours of back-to-back hits and new favorites from his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was , according to a release.

The musician performed tracks including “My Love,” "Suit & Tie,” “Rock Your Body,” and “SexyBack” as well as performing live debuts of “Technicolor,” “Infinity Sex,” “Imagination,” “Drown,” “My Favorite Drug,” “F---in' Up the Disco,” “Play,” and “Flame” from his new album , which was released on March 15.

Jay leno rails on catalytic converter crimes in wake of johnny wactor murder, jay leno on wactor death light punishment for catalytic converter thefts is bs.

Jay Leno is railing against the light punishment for most perps caught stealing catalytic converters as the L.A. crime wave is turning deadly ... specifically with the recent murder of "General Hospital" actor Johnny Wactor .

The stand-up comic and renowned car guru tells TMZ ... it's outrageous the penalty for ripping off converters -- usually a $1,000 fine amounting to just a misdemeanor charge -- isn’t vastly harsher.

JL adds ... The slap on the wrist most thieves receive -- if they even get nabbed -- is the reason they're so brazen.

The former 'Tonight Show' host pointed out it's against federal law for a car owner to remove their own converter -- which some have done under the false assumption there will be better performance -- and it can result in a gigantic fine.

In California, the crime is merely a misdemeanor if the value of the converter, or any stolen property for that matter, is less than $950 – which is why certain cars are targeted. All converters have precious metals to be smelted down – the reason thieves take them – but some models are cheaper than others. Hence, lighter punishment.

Leno tells TMZ, in most cases, it costs victims thousands of dollars to replace a stolen converter. If that weren't bad enough ... they may have to wait months for the repair due to the huge backorder ... because of the massive uptick in thefts!

In his estimation, the clowns behind the crime are likely getting around $20 a pop, which is why they steal so damn many.

LAPD is still searching for the trio of catalytic converter thieves, one of whom shot and killed Wactor in downtown L.A. in the early morning hours of May 25.

GPT-4 is better than humans at financial forecasting, new study shows

• OpenAI's GPT-4 is better than humans at analyzing financial statements and making forecasts, according to a new study.
• "Even without any narrative or industry-specific information, the LLM outperforms financial analysts in its ability to predict earnings changes," the study found.
• Trading strategies based on GPT-4 also delivered more profitable results than the stock market.

OpenAI's GPT-4 proved to be a better financial analyst than humans, according to a new study.

The findings could upend the financial services industry that, like other business sectors, is racing to adopt generative AI technologies.

According to the study conducted by the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago, the large language model did a better job of analyzing financial statements and making predictions based on those statements.

"Even without any narrative or industry-specific information, the LLM outperforms financial analysts in its ability to predict earnings changes," the study said. "The LLM exhibits a relative advantage over human analysts in situations when the analysts tend to struggle."

The study utilized "chain-of-thought" prompts that directed GPT-4 to identify trends in financial statements and calculate different financial ratios. From there, the large language model analyzed the information and predicted future earnings results.

"When we use the chain of thought prompt to emulate human reasoning, we find that GPT achieves an accuracy of 60%, which is remarkably higher than that achieved by the analysts," the study said. The human analysts were closer to the low 50% range with regard to prediction accuracy.

The large language models' ability to recognize financial patterns and business concepts with incomplete information suggests that the technology should play a key role in financial decision-making going forward, according to the study's authors.

Finally, the study found that applying GPT-4's financial acumen to trading strategies produced more profitable trading, with higher share ratios and alpha that ultimately beat the stock market.

"We find that the long-short strategy based on GPT forecasts outperforms the market and generates significant alphas and Sharpe ratios," the study said.
