A total of 88 Christmas trees sponsored by Port Coquitlam businesses, non-profit groups and service organizations are dotted around the city this month to add a bit of festive cheer — and to raise money for PoCo Heritage.
The fourth annual Christmas Tree Festival, which launched this past weekend and is sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, includes a scavenger hunt challenge and a chance to vote on the best trees.
Festival chair Pippa Van Velzen (pictured with the Art Focus Artists Association tree in the Gathering Place) said the public can admire the trees located in public locations such as Terry Fox Library and the PoCo recreation complex as well as in stores around the community.
"It's a wonderful way to find out about the businesses in our city," she said.
