And one day, sitting in their hot tub, looking at the river, she mentioned she thought the historic slab walking bridge would be beautiful lit up for Christmas. Her husband Keith said if she could find the lights he would put them up on the bridge for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">And the rest is history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, Jackie reached out to the community and found loads of support for her initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I went on Facebook and just put it out there. I wasn&#8217;t sure whether we were gonna get what we needed out of it, and everybody was so helpful that way with the contributions. We raised about $2,200&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>To hear the radio broadcast of this story listen here:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FINALWebstory-PE-Slab-Bridge.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">That first season, a private business helped out with providing power for the lights but that building is to be torn down; so Keith approached Strait Shores council early this year to attempt to secure power going forward, and the council supported his bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">On November 30th, the bridge was officially lit up for the second year with a special visit from Santa with treats for the occasion. The bridge, illuminated from 4 pm to 7 am, will remain lit until January 6th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"59454d\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #59454d;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"946\" height=\"1263\" sizes=\"(max-width: 946px) 100vw, 946px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/JackieKeithSanta.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69152 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/JackieKeithSanta.avif 946w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/JackieKeithSanta-449x600.avif 449w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/JackieKeithSanta-768x1025.avif 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Jackie and Keith Giles pose with Santa at the lighting ceremony on November 30th.                                     photo: courtesy of Jackie Giles<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The residents of Port Elgin and Strait Shores have been overwhelmingly appreciative of the efforts that Jackie and Keith have made to bring some Christmas cheer and sparkle to the bridge and river.
