The move to the CN Centre was pretty positive from everyone who walked through the doors to attend the Festival of Trees.
This year’s event was used to bring in an endobronchial ultrasound system to UHNBC.
Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation CEO, Aimee Cassie told MyPGNow.com the move to a bigger facility was pretty smooth.
“We were thrilled about the reviews and the support the event received. We had an absolute volunteer army that gets everything ready by setting it up and putting it together. Honestly, I am speechless because it was so wonderful.”
“Anytime out of an event, you look at what you can do differently next time in each area. This time we have some key takeaways for next year but for the first year at CN Centre we were thrilled.”
Alongside of the Festival were a number of events and fundraising initiatives last week, including the McDonald’s Fundraising Breakfast, the Gala Whobilation and the Kopar Holiday parade.
The final fundraising total is still being tallied, although Cassie they should be close to reaching their goal of raising $600,000.
