History of Lumière

Winter Light Exhibition used to be a part of Winter at Ontario Place. The latter was an annual festival featuring various winter-themed activities. Visitors would skate on a man-made rink, watch film screenings at Cinesphere, observe winter light installations, and participate in community bonfires on the north end of Cedar Cove on the West Island.
