Peter Olsen's Classification Talk

Posted on Monday, November 23rd 2009   

Peter Olsen introduced his classification talk dressed up in a nordic hat. Born in Copenhagen, he immigrated to Canada with his family at the age of 10. Peter,s father eventually started Royal City Nursery in its present location on Woodlawn Road in 1963. Peter joined the business after university and became its principal after his father retired. The nursery is now run by Peter's daughters and he is employed by them from time to time. He also teaches tree propagation at Humber College.
Peter Olsen told us passionately how excellent he found our health care system to be; it saved his life with a double lung transplant which allows him an active life after suffering from a severe lung disease.
