Tree Planting Recognizes Workers

Lake Country is joining other B.C. communities in planting a tree to commemorate the work of local government professionals.

“Our dedicated and collaborative staff team at the District of Lake Country do so much great work behind the scenes.  We are happy to have the opportunity to recognize their contributions to our community by planting a special tree in front of Municipal Hall,” says Mayor James Baker. “A Venus Dogwood was chosen because it flowers early in the summer and has a nice colour and attracts birds in the fall.”

May 19-25 marks Local Government Awareness Week.

This year, local governments in B.C. are planting a tree in recognition of local government professionals and their ongoing commitment to community service while also celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Local Government Management Association of B.C. (LGMA).
