Thanks to funding support from BC Hydro, 21 new trees were planted around town this summer. The trees were planted in several locations to improve shade, support a healthy urban tree canopy, and replace trees that were removed or failed to grow. You’ll find new trees at:

  • Keith King Memorial Park 
  • Alexander Park 
  • Dogwood Park 
  • Confluence Park 
  • The cemetery
  • The Reflection Lake parking area 
  • The SE Administration Building (across from Alexander Park Elementary)
  • 9th St S & 11th Ave S 

Through the Community Regreening Grant, the Town received $8,000 toward the project, which helped offset the total cost of planting over $10,000 worth of trees. Additional costs for supplies, equipment, and labour were covered by the Town.

Thank you to BC Hydro for supporting our efforts to keep our community green, cool, and beautiful.
