Mr. Speaker, for the past 11 years, the Fairmont Château Montebello has organized a major Christmas tree-decorating celebration known as Trees of Hope. The majestic Château is filled with trees sponsored and decorated by generous local businesses, and all the money raised is donated to the Petite-Nation food bank.
I had the pleasure of decorating my Tree of Hope this year with my daughters Jade and Jana, and it is adorned with the colours and symbols that represent our beautiful country. I invite everyone to go and admire the Trees of Hope, which will be on display throughout the holiday season. Visitors can choose their favourite. More importantly, I invite people to give generously to food banks and the Petite-Nation food bank. These organizations are on the front lines when it comes to offering help to the most needy in our communities.
I would like to thank the Fairmont Château Montebello for this wonderful initiative.
