All funds go towards the Saskatoon Zoo building, an award-winning prairie dog exhibit, and construction of Butterfly House, set to open in the Spring. The zoo also has plans to renovate the Affinity Learning Centre, and build a new home for the bears.

The Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation will use their share to help fund the Equip for Excellence Campaign, purchasing much-needed equipment for the operating room.

There also may be a Light Walk towards the end of the Holiday Light Tour.

The Enchanted Forest runs through January 9 from 5:30 to 10 p.m. nightly.
