In a tradition of 25 years, families and friends gathered once again this year at the Drumheller Health Centre to Celebrate the Tree of Hope.
For the last two and half decades, the Tree of Hope has allowed residents of Drumheller to provide greetings of hope to loved ones and to remember loved ones who have passed away.
On Sunday, December 8, 72 people attended the Tree of Hope event at the Drumheller Health Centre. The ceremony led by Pastor Dan Hendrickson included music from the Pioneer Trail Singers and light refreshments.
The 2019 Tree of Hope campaign received approximately $2,300 in donations to the Drumheller Area Health Foundation, which are designated specifically to the Volunteer Resources Palliative Care fund.
Over 110 In-Memory and Greetings of Hope ornaments were placed on the Tree of Hope at the Drumheller Health Centre and donors were welcome to keep the ornaments after the event.
