Yeah, last night of Hannukah. It happens the world over, which I'm sure includes Canada.

the sun reached its lowest point last night - and will stay down there for 3 days before starting to rise again - pagans lit candles to help the sun find the way.....

Tonight is the shortest night of the year, when the God (the sun) is reborn. We light candles to welcome his return to the world.
Happy Solstice!
