Festival of Trees is set to dazzle on Saturday, October 19th. This year's theme, "Sugar & Spice & Notoriously Nice," will transport you back to the Roaring 20s with help from the Tunnels of Moose Jaw. Step into Saskatchewan's biggest speakeasy for an immersive prohibition-era experience. Join us and step into a world of glamour and excitement to raise funds for the next generation of surgical equipment and a groundbreaking new procedure, bronchoscopy, to aid lung cancer and COPD patients at our hospital.

Over the last 32 years, with the support of the business community, medical professionals, and volunteers, Festival of Trees has raised almost $5,300,000.   No charitable event has enhanced healthcare for generations in Moose Jaw more than Festival of Trees.

Ryan Hrechka, the Moose Jaw Health Foundation Chair, commented, "The Foundation encourages every business and individual in our community to come together to support surgical care. Let us rally behind the noble cause of providing cutting-edge surgical equipment and a new surgical procedure – bronchoscopy to help lung cancer and COPD patients. By securing your ticket, buying a table for your business or donating an auction item, you will profoundly impact the lives of surgical patients. Thank you to the Tunnels of Moose Jaw for participating in Festival this year. Join us at Saskatchewan's Biggest Speakeasy on Saturday, October 19th and help make our Vision of Tomorrow a reality."
