Victoria Chinatown Lioness had a very successful tree chipping. It was cold and wet but Lioness collected approximately $4450.00 with 467 trees chipped in two days. We had a total of 28 firefighters over the 2 days from the Yates Street, Bay Street and Michigan Street stations and one of them even bought along his 5 year old daughter who helped us all morning!

On January 7th & 8th, 2017 many residents disposed of their Christmas tree in an environmentally friendly manner at one of 7 locations.
