As one of Canada’s busiest transplant centres, the University of Alberta Hospital is recognized as a leader for both the number of transplants performed and the success rate of organ transplants – for both adult and pediatric patients from northern and western Canada. Funds raised through the 2009 Festival of Trees will be used to develop a specially-equipped Transplant Operating Room. Time is crucial in transplantation surgery, and this will assist greatly in scheduling transplant surgery so it occurs as quickly as possible.
This year’s site again includes all three salons of the Conference Centre completely redone as a kaleidoscope of colour and light. The Festival of Trees is the largest annual event held at the Shaw Conference Centre. More than 37,500 people attend. Over 100 spectacular Christmas trees and more than 150 holiday decorations all newly created for Festival of Trees 2009!
Tickets at the door: $6 for adults, $3 for seniors/youth, $1 for children
