Archivist's note

One of five Christmas tree-chipping fundraiser notices in the archive spanning 2019 to 2026 (2019-01-04 D5, 2019-01-05 D7, 2020-01-03 A2, 2024-01-05 A6, 2026-01-03 A5). Taken together they are the archive's only continuous record of the team's own fundraising, and they document a long-running relationship with Slegg Lumber. The venue moves from 2901 Sooke Road, Langford to 1210 Childlow Connector between 2020 and 2026.

The clipping

Scan of Times Colonist, page A2, 3 January 2020 — the article “Christmas tree chipping events”
The article as printed. Clipping cut on 2026-07-30 after reading the page. The Juan de Fuca Search and Rescue entry is a single bullet under "Langford" inside a region-wide roundup, so the crop shows the whole roundup rather than the bullet alone — the bullet on its own would not show what it is. Verified by re-OCR: 455 words, all 8 distinctive terms present..
