Tree dedication in appreciation of Kerr Apartment public support
By Timothy Schafer
The committee that supported the people displaced by the Kerr Apartment Building fire in January want to hold a public appreciation and dedicate a tree in Lakeside Park.
Approval was given by City council Monday night at their regular meeting to choose a tree for the Lakeside Park playing fields area.
As well, the committee will be holding a dedication ceremony for Nelson and area residents and organizations to recognize the generosity and support given to the residents of the Kerr Apartment Building, and that a fee of $250 be waived as an in-kind donation.
The committee had been working with residents towards the re-establishment of their losses and long-term accommodation solutions.
The type of tree to be planted and the day of the dedication ceremony were not announced.
