PRINCE GEORGE – For the second year, the Job’s Daughters of Prince George have been collecting Christmas trees for the purpose of having them chipped down by the City.

Job’s Daughters is an international organization, assisting young women 10 to 20 years of age.

Last year, they collected a large quantity of trees, however, the actual number of trees wasn’t counted. This year, they collected over 100 trees alone on the first day of the event. The event ran from Jan. 4-5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the parking lot of the CN Centre.

Along with the collecting, they also accept donations as it has become a large contributing event for their operating fees and charitable events that the girls put on.

The organization puts on a number of fundraising events with a mix of both internal and external events.

“Our purpose is to really teach our girls how to run business meetings, how to publicly speak, how to put on fundraisers, and we do a lot of charity work,” said Rachel Row, Honour Queen of the Prince George Job’s Daughters. “We really try to get our girls into the community and prepare them for their future in life.”

Row adds that from her time involved, she has grown substantially, especially when interacting with adults.

“During school, I’m way more confident publicly speaking. I’m way more comfortable. It’s really given me the confidence that I’ve wanted and needed.”

The Job’s Daughters meet twice a month. In Prince George, it’s believed to be approximately 11 girls involved in the organization.
