7.3 Tree at 40 King St. West
Lambton Shores staff met Glen VanValkenburg and an advisor regarding replacing the
town Christmas tree. He didn’t feel it was feasible to replace it with the same type of tree
because of disease. There is a blue spruce planted behind it perhaps it could be used for
the Christmas tree and something else put in the spot where the old tree was removed.
Board members to try and come up with some ideas.
