Tree of Life gets a Facelift!
Lake of the Woods Electric, together with Kenora Hydro, Godbout Towing and United Rentals provided the Hospital Foundation with a truly generous Christmas Gift in Kind.
Glen McDougald and his crew from Lake of the Woods Electric spent over 150 man hours removing all of the old strings of lights from the tree and replaced them with new LED lights on a pulley system for easy maintenance. They also color coded the strings on 5 different switches so we’re able to light more of the tree as donations come in.
Special thanks from both Lake of the Woods Electric and the Hospital Foundation also go to United Rentals for the use of their manlift, Godbout Towing for transporting the manlift to and from the hospital and to Kenora Hydro for supplying some of the new LED lights.
We received an invoice for $11, 435.15 from Lake of the Woods Electric and a letter from Glen McDougald indicating that the entire cost of the retrofit was to be considered a donation.
From all of us at the Hospital Foundation, THANK YOU to Lake of the Woods Electric, Kenora Hydro, United Rentals and Godbout Towing for your amazing Gift. Our tree is shining extra bright this year, and once the star is lit on Christmas Eve, the whole community will be able to enjoy the full extent of the hard work these companies have put in for us.
We wish you all a safe and happy holiday and all the best in the New Year!
