News > Memorial plants nearly 400 trees as Canada Games legacy
Memorial University’s St John’s campus is planting nearly 400 new trees and shrubs this summer as part of a gift from Tree Canada and the 2025 Canada Games host society. The legacy project planting initiative, which is coordinated by Memorial’s Facilities Management and Memorial's Botanical Garden, aims to offset environmental impacts from the games and support long-term campus beautification efforts. Signs will be installed to share information about forestry and sustainable land stewardship with the campus community.
“Our goal is to ensure the positive impacts of the Games extend well beyond the competitions,” said 2025 Canada Games Host Society CEO Karen Sherriffs.
