by The province’s annual Christmas Tree for Boston is coming from Cape Breton, this year.
The 13.7-metre white spruce is coming from a property in the aptly named Christmas Island.
The tree was donated by landowner Roddy Townsend, along with his children Angela, Carmen and Andrew.
The public is invited to attend the tree-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, November 16, on the Townsend family’s property at 8008 Grand Narrows Highway.
The Tree for Boston is the Province’s annual thank you to Boston for sending medical personnel and supplies to Nova Scotia within hours of the Halifax Explosion in 1917.
