Welcome to BCIT’s Evolution 107.9

At Evolution, we shake things up!

We look a little different and sound a little different – because we are! We’re dedicated to experimentation, creativity, and distinctiveness. Part of our uniqueness comes from the fact that we are all students at BCIT. We are always learning and asking questions and invite you to come along for the ride.

Major label, indie label, or no label – if it’s good and it rocks – we’ll play it!

The Best Lights in Vancouver!

The holidays are here! One of the most magical parts of this season is the cheerful decor that fills our streets, homes, businesses and landscapes. Beautiful, creative lights, brighten up the cold, winter season.

Outdoor lights

It’s lovely to take a drive down your street and gaze at your neighbour’s blowup Santa Claus and tree lights, but what’s really special are the light attractions all over Vancouver!

Here are some of the most entertaining, must-see light venues in the Lower Mainland!

Canyon Lights at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

250,000! That’s how many lights are used to transform the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park into a glowing winter wonderland.

Already breathtaking attractions made better:

  • Suspension Bridge: 230ft above land, stretching 450ft across the Capilano River. You can see the reflection of an illuminated rainforest in the water below (Instagram-worthy picture!).
