A family from Kingsville, Ont., says it has decided to leave town over a new bylaw that would put limits on its popular Christmas lights show.
A family in Kingsville, Ont., has decided to pull up stakes and move after the city council passed a bylaw that would restrict the family’s Christmas light show.
After a decade, it slowly morphed into a display with more than 60,000 lights that takes 500 man-hours to assemble“That’s just physically outside putting up like putting up controllers, you know, running cables, all that kind of stuff,” Williams said. But trouble started brewing in Kingsville after several neighbours lodged complaints about their street being crowded with cars for six weeks every year.
Rogers said the council is sad to see them turn off the lights but said the show had outgrown its location as well.“We were saddened to learn that the Williams family will not move forward with their light display this year,” he said.
