Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 75 Ladies Auxiliary of Rivers is the lucky recipient of one of 140, 70th anniversary Dutch-Canadian friendship tulip gardens being distributed across Canada. The gardens are in celebration of the first gift of 100,000 Dutch tulip bulbs sent to Canadians in 1945 as a symbol of appreciation for the role Canadian soldiers played in the liberation of the Netherlands, and the hospitality Canada provided to the Dutch royal family in Ottawa during the Second World War. A public planting ceremony is to take place in the near future.
