Signal Hill

Erected in February 1999 and commemorated during the Jeux du CANADA GAMES in March, this 17 meter high (52 ft) 360 year old magnificent CEDAR TREE represents OVER a 1000 YEARS of Newfoundland and Labrador history! Your Heritage Tree also represents Canadian Unity as it was nourished and donated from British Columbia soil and brought right across Canada by Newfoundlanders!(Thanks Dan Preshyon and Tracey Bruce of Western Forest Products of British Columbia!)

 

Carved images on the Tree commemorate our own 50 years as a Province of Canada(1949), John Cabot's 500 years of discovery(1497), the official 1000 year anniversary of the VIKINGS' ENCAMPMENT in L'Anse aux Meadows, and even the earliest Maritime Archaic Indians of thousands of years ago!
