THE BATTLEFORDS —

According to a Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation press release, the BUH Foundation has announced the launch of the annual Festival of Trees, which will celebrate its 28th year. This year also marks the 12th year in which Gold Eagle Casino has been the diamond sponsor for the event, with Kelly Atcheynum, general manager of Gold Eagle Casino, proud of the support the casino has provided.

“As we make our way into the holiday season, we would like to take this time to say how grateful we are to each and every one of our sponsors, volunteers and community. Your support ensures that you, your family, neighbours and friends have access to the best care, as close to home as possible”, says Leanne Ducommun, BUH Foundation’s executive director.

This year, the proceeds raised during the Festival of Trees will support BUH purchasing a ceiling lift tracking system for the palliative department at Battlefords Union Hospital.
