With the Stanley Park Train out of commission for the foreseeable future, the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund’s annual Bright Nights event is forced to move.

The Vancouver Park Board announced this week that Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience would be taking the fundraiser’s place, sparking outrage on social media.

Many Vancouverites are sharing their disappointment and anger online after the charity’s event was replaced with an attraction costing $49.50 per entry.

“This is awful,” said one Reddit user.

“The Bright Nights display was free to walk through (with donation stations), so people who couldn’t afford it, or got tickets for the train, could still enjoy it. Charging $49 a ticket for a for-profit Harry Potter display is disgraceful.”
