2a Trees for Retirees

This winter, Georgina Ferguson of the
Assessment Office planted a very special
tree in New Westminster’s Tipperary
Park. Dedicated to her late husband, Jack,
the tree will leave a lasting memory while
improving the environment in the greater
College community. Trees for Retirees, a
program sponsored by the Douglas
College Institute of Urban Ecology,
allows retired College employees to
request that a tree be planted locally on
their behalf. For more information on this
unique retirement or memorial gift
opportunity, call Val Schaefer at local
5224.
