Another special event will be hosted Sunday associated with the Memorial Cup in Kelowna – this time of an ecological nature.
The Trees for Life organization and the City, in collaboration with the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) and sponsor Kubota Canada, are planting a ceremonial tree in Kelowna’s Sunset Park where a new Hero Forest will later take root in celebration of the 106th Memorial Cup.
The Hero Forest will serve as a tribute to Canadian military veterans, both living and deceased.
The cup trophy’s origins are a remembrance to fallen Canadian military personnel.
