River’s Edge District participated in the 2020 Parade of Trees at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery. We named this year's entry ‘Our Guiding Tree.' All members in our district, from Sparks to Trefoil Guild, creatively decorated their own snowman ornament. Each snowman's scarf is colour-coordinated by the branch of Guiding. It’s very exciting that we won, considering that people could vote online as well as in person (new this year). The River's Edge Rangers made 100 holiday cards for patients at Richmond Hospital. This was a grand feat, considering there are only four active Rangers in the unit! The Rangers used holiday-themed wrapping paper and decks of cards from the dollar store. This added fun and easy graphics to our cards. Richmond Hospital has expressed their gratitude – the Rangers' cards really brightened up the patients' hospital stays over the holiday season.
