Lighting of Christmas tree in Dianna’s honour

Dianna Mah-Jones left an indelible mark on GF Strong. Remembered as an outgoing, creative and exuberant person, the highly respected and caring occupational therapist went above and beyond for her patients and teammates. On Friday, December 1, Dianna’s colleagues will dedicate a tree on the GFS grounds and set it aglow with coloured lights to honour her memory and spirit. Everyone is welcome to attend.

“Dianna touched a lot of lives here — both patients’ and colleagues’,” says Shelley LondonHauka, a rehab assistant. “This tree will provide a reminder of the woman she was and the impact she had. We all need light and the lights on this tree will be visible to patients, staff and the whole neighbourhood. ”

Donations accepted until November 22

A fund has been started to cover the costs of lighting and installation. All donations will be held in trust by the VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation. Tax receipts will be supplied upon request for donations of $25 or more. To make a donation:
