A presentation by a young Battleford resident lowered the average age of people in council chambers at last Monday’s meeting.
Avery Donahue gave a presentation to council, with the help of her father and grandfather, wanting to light 16 trees near the gazebo in downtown Battleford.
Donahue asked the town to supply power to the lights and install lights in time for a Nov. 23 party. The town agreed.
The Community Spirit Group is organizing the sale of lights. Individual lights sell for $2, and entire trees can be sponsored for $300. Funds go to the Battleford Community Spirit Group.
Councillor Susan McLean Tady commended Donahue for her initiative with the project.
