Norine Duhn Commemorative Tree

In Almonte, Ontario, just west of Queen Street between the Riverwalk and the south bank of the Mississippi River stands a tree accompanied by a plaque commemorating Norine Duhn.

I could not find out much about Norine Duhn. From what I found, she contributed to her community. She coached for the Naismith Minor Basketball Association (NMBA). She participated as a long time volunteer organizer of the annual Terry Fox Run in Almonte. The Almonte District High School annually presents the Norine Duhn Community Involvement award. She must have died before her natural time as she predeceased both her parents, Arther and Nora Morphy.
