Spring Clean Up

The park clean up was a cold and soggy experience.  We made the best of it and cleaned up a small section of the park.  There were some hardy gardeners out to collect their compost.  A big thank you to Sandra who braved the elements and to Sol Maya (http://www.cafesolmaya.com/) for providing us with great coffee to keep us warm. 

We may reschedule to another, sunnier, day.  We will keep you posted.

Park Clean Up and Compost Pick Up--- April 16 from 8 am to Noon

Help us get the park ready for summer fun!

We have organized a park clean up to take place on Saturday April 16 from 8 am to noon.  We are meeting outside the Withrow Clubhouse where we will provide gloves and garbage bags.  Councillor Fletcher has organized a compost delivery to take place in conjunction with this event.  The compost will be delivered to the north end of the park (at McConnell and Fenwick) at 8 am.  The compost is available for you to pick up to use in your home gardens.

Skating Party

What a fun skating party last night!  Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make it happen.  A special thank you to Yani for all of her hard work in organizing the event.  Here are a couple pictures that I took- please add some of your own.  I think we should have music at the rink every friday night- don't you?
