Outside of Canada Sevens weekend, the Northern Lights will feature a Spring illumination every Sunday evening in April. The dynamic and vibrant display will showcase BC’s seasonal colours, including cyan, green, pink, and yellow.
In addition, the stadium will continue to glow in blue and yellow at the top of each hour as a symbolic initiative in solidarity with the Ukrainian community in British Columbia and around the world.
BC Place will light up in rainbow colours on April 5 for Sikh Heritage Month, and will go dark on April 22 in observance of Earth Day.
