Christmas Light Installation in Victoria Park

Holiday lighting on the brick houses around Victoria Park, from the streets off Queen Street South to the blocks along David and Schneider.

The houses around Victoria Park are among the oldest and tallest in Kitchener: brick Italianates, Queen Annes and Edwardian foursquares with steep front gables, deep porches and wood trim that has been painted for over a century. It is one of the City's four heritage conservation districts, and the City notes that owners there may need a heritage permit for changes to the building or the property. Seasonal lights here are done entirely on clips: gripping the shingle edge or the eavestrough lip, wrapped around porch columns, never screwed into original trim or stapled into soft mortar. They come off in January without a mark. The gables often put the apex well above eight metres, so the work is done with proper fall protection and sometimes a lift. Warm white suits the red and buff brick. Permanent track is a conversation for the City's heritage staff before anything is ordered. Lots are narrow and power is often limited to a single outlet, so the design is planned around what the house can safely carry.

Frequently asked questions

Which parts of Kitchener do you cover?

All of it: Victoria Park, Civic Centre, Stanley Park, Rockway, Forest Heights, Country Hills, Upper Doon, Doon South, Pioneer Park, Huron Park, Williamsburg and the rest. The quote depends on the house, not the neighbourhood.

Is my house in a heritage district?

Kitchener's four heritage conservation districts are St. Mary's, Upper Doon, Victoria Park and Civic Centre. The City's heritage page has the maps. Clip-on seasonal lights do not alter the building; permanent track does, and the City's heritage staff decide whether it needs a permit.

Do you light condo and townhouse complexes?

Yes, when the condominium board or property manager approves it. In most condominiums the declaration and rules treat roofs, soffits and exterior walls as common elements, so a single unit owner cannot usually authorize lights on them. The board can, and complexes are quoted as commercial work.
