While Vancouver Island didn’t have a White Christmas, it certainly had a white kick off to the new year.
Kids in many areas of the Island were likely celebrating the snow day Wednesday, and some adults were certainly enjoying the scenic views.
CHEK News viewers have been eager to send in photos of their neighbourhoods covered in a blanket of white. If you have photos or videos you’d like to share, you can email them to [email protected]
Without further ado, here are some photos of Vancouver Island on Jan. 17, 2024.
