Colten Williams began putting together his Christmas light show a decade ago at the behest of his grandmother, who was inspired by light shows she had seen on TV.

After a decade , it slowly morphed into a display with more than 60,000 lights that takes 500 man-hours to assemble.

The family also used the shows to raise money to fight cancer, with their efforts totalling more than $45,000 over the years .

This month , the city enacted a new bylaw that would force the Williams family to apply for a permit for their display while also placing restrictions on the number of hours they would be allowed to leave the lights on.
