I didn't get out to see the parade this year but I did find this Youtube video of it someone posted.
It's not a very good video, but you'll get the idea.
The Island Equipment Owners Association is a group of local earth moving, logistic and construction company's.

Re: IEOA Truck Light Parade
The IEOA has put on this parade every year for the last 12 years.
Donations of non-perishable food items or money are gathered throughout the 2 1/2 hour parade that travels through 6 communities in the Capital Reginal District. They all end up at Western Speedway where they have Santa and things for the kids to do.
It's a great cause where 100% of the donations go directly to local food banks and charities.
In '05 we won 2nd place with a Western Star tri-drive gravel truck done up like a huge sleigh.
