From Far & Wide: The Eppich Collection

A new exhibition of cultural and faith-based artifacts, collected from various countries around the world, opens Thursday, February 11, at 7 pm at the Richmond Museum. The exhibit showcases, for the first time, a selection from over 400 cultural artifacts donated to the City of Richmond’s museum artifact collection by local entrepreneur, Helmut Eppich. The objects range from life-sized stone Indian goddesses to Serbian religious iconography to ceramic vessels from Asia, South America and Europe. “The cultural diversity of the general workforce in Richmond, with its immigration from around the world, has been evident since its formation – a significant story in the city’s history,” explains Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “The Eppich brothers have honoured that history by establishing strong multi-cultural corporate values at Ebco and by collecting cultural artifacts to reinforce those values.”

Festival of Lights at the VanDusen Botanical Garden – Vancouver

At the Festival of Lights, VanDusen transforms itself from a serene botanical oasis into a winter wonderland. Millions of colourful lights are strewn around flower beds, trees, shrubs and decorations, combining to create an awesome spectacle.Visitors to the Festival of Light can stroll through brightly-lit pathways–including the Gingerbread Walk and Candy Cane Lane–watch the Dancing Lights show (lights around Livingstone Lake “dance” to holiday music), enjoy hot chocolate and other snacks, and–most importantly for kids!–visit Santa and his elves.
