PEGASUS POST
Crusaders keep environment in mind
PRE-TRAINING rituals were a
little different for some Crusaders
players who kept both the
community and the environment
in mind during a visit to Trees for
Canterbury.
Crusaders sponsor Aotea Electric
Canterbury invited players
George Bridge, Tom Sanders and
Nathan Vela along with them
during a visit to the non-profit
charity.
The players rolled up their
sleeves in the potting shed and
set about planting saplings ready
for the next community tree
planting events.
They also helped water the new
plants and moved them out into
the nursery.
Trees of Canterbury has a
strong ethos to employ, educate
and regenerate.
It has established a community
for people with disabilities and
at-risk youth, providing an environment
of acceptance as well
as support and training for selfdevelopment
and self-esteem.
Decked in Crusaders shirts,
the Trees For Canterbury team
were “very excited” to meet and
work with the three visiting team
members.
There was lots of laughter,
friendly questions and happy
banter.
“You can’t believe how excited
everyone has been this week
about the Crusaders visit. It will
literally make the year for some
of these guys,” manager Steve
Bush said.
Bush explained to the players
how the charity worked and
about the 12 community planting
events arranged throughout the
year, with the ultimate goal of
planting 2,000,000 native trees
across Canterbury.
The players were shown around
the site, with the team eager to
take photos and engage with
players. New friendships were
made and the visit ended with
hugs and signed shirts.
Aotea Electric Canterbury
sponsor both the Crusaders and
Trees for Canterbury charity. It
was heart-warming to involve
both parties in such a positive,
upbeat and memorable visit.

We chose Cameron because of his sales record as No1 in NZ and he was
recommended to us. We were not disappointed with our decision. He
treated us as though we were his only customer. Always giving us time to
consider everything and not once did we feel rushed when he was phoning
or visiting us.
We feel privileged to have had Cameron sell our property
and are delighted with the outcome.
