Thank you to all the athletes who participated in this fundraiser! You were able to make it a great success!
For those who participated, please keep an eye out for an email letting you know how much you earned towards your account.
We are working with a supplier who brings the most amazing Christmas trees in from Nova Scotia - the Balsam Fir capital of the world.
These trees are perfectly shaped, and are one of the highest grades of Christmas tree you can buy. They are also incredibly fresh as they are chopped, wrapped and loaded up into a freight train, all within 24 hours. The trees arrive in Alberta just a few days later, ready to be picked up.
Benefits of purchasing one of these trees over one from a box store or a tree lot:
Trees are available in 1 foot increments from 5ft - 11ft tall. A full price list is available below as well as on the order form. Please remind your buyers that since these trees are classified in 1 foot categories their 6-7 ft tree might be 6'1" or 6'11" in size, and encourage them to size up if they are concerned about getting a smaller sized tree.
Estimated Pickup and Delivery weekend is November 30 - Dec 1. All customers ordering trees will be contacted via email with exact details once we have them.
We will be offering delivery as an option:
$10 for Edmonton & Sherwood Park
$15 for all other areas (Including Spruce Grove/Stony Plain, Beaumont, Leduc, St. Albert, Fort Saskatchewan, Rural addresses in Strathcona and Parkland County's)
The delivery fees collected will be distributed among those who helped with the deliveries to offset the cost of gas.
Order Forms
Please submit your tree orders as they come in so we can ensure we have accurate inventory counts for what we have available. Please submit your forms to fundraising@dgpa.ca
You only need to collect a 50% deposit when a person orders their tree. They can pay the final 50% upon pick up. Deposits can be paid via etransfer to yourself or to treasurer@dgpa.ca. Final payments can be made in Cash, debit or credit
Allocation of Funds
The funds raised by this fundraiser will be distributed as per individual sales of each athlete.

Yes! The trees are tied up and loaded into a shipping container within 24 hours of being cut down. They remain sheltered in the shipping container and then at our storage location. This means our trees don't dry out from being exposed to the outdoor elements.
The trees are expected to arrive the last week of November, with our tentative pick up date being November 20th & Dec 1
After we get a master list of all deliveries for the weekend, we will split the deliveries up into zones and send out drivers with trees to different areas of the city.
Medium Density is the second-highest rating of Christmas tree you can purchase. By comparison, the trees that are brought into grocery stores, such as Sobeys are "economy grade".
Tree density is ranked as:
1) High Density
2) Medium Density
3) Low Density
4) Economy
These trees will be very full, and expertly shaped. You won't need to worry about bare spots or flat spots, twisting your tree to put the "bad side" against the wall.
