It’s a festive tradition 31 years in the making – tonight, the first of two Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Christmas Wish Trees will be lit.

Lighting ceremonies are being held in Wallaceburg tonight, and tomorrow at the Chatham hospital. Although the two ceremonies aren’t open to the public, you can watch them on YourTV Chatham-Kent and through the Health Alliance Foundation Facebook page.

Over $172,000 has been raised so far.

All proceeds will support CKHA’s Urology services, paying for a new Bladder Scanner for the Wallaceburg Site, and a new Urodynamics Machine for the Chatham Site.
