The Honourable Janice Filmon, notes the impact of volunteers and people like Jan Sirksi.
“I mean volunteers are the gold of this earth,” noted Filmon. “They give you their time and energy. The very thing that life is made of and you don’t get it back and yet look what happens, our communities get built, right, and food banks staffed. So that is what it was and it was a matter then of finding a tree.”
