Heritage Ornament Program. $2,500 was donated to the Victoria Hospital Foundation to assist with upgrading medical equipment  in the Operating Rooms at the Victoria Regional Hospital.

Nothing succeeds like success. Just ask the Prince Albert and District Chamber of Commerce, CEO, Bergen Price about the “sell out” success of the 2010 Heritage Christmas Ornament Program. The ornaments quickly sold out well before Christmas. The 2010 ornament featured the Prince Albert Collegiate Institute (PACI). The ornament was created to recognize and celebrate the 100th anniversary of PACI. It is believed many Prince Albert ex-pats, now living in locations around the world, snapped up or placed orders for the ornaments at the 100th Anniversary Celebrations held in the summer of 2010. Heritage Ornaments are available seasonally from leading retailers and financial instructions throughout the city of Prince Albert.

The Heritage Christmas Ornament Program is a partnership between the Chamber of Commerce and the Victoria Hospital Foundation. Proceeds are donated to the foundation to assist with the purchase of medical equipment for the Victoria Regional Hospital.

Rob Dalziel, executive director with the Victoria Hospital Foundation said, “this program has been a winner since day one. It is a great way to remember and honour significant buildings located throughout our community. It is also a tremendous way to help the Victoria Regional Hospital”.

Each year a different heritage building is features. Some back issues of the Heritage Ornaments are still available from the Chamber.  For more information contact the Prince Albert and District Chamber of Commerce at 764 6222.
