Spring Cleanup

We’re nearing the end of winter and as much as we love the snow, it tends to hide a fair bit of trash.

Come help clean up our neighbourhood. We will be cleaning our greenspaces (Frank Ryan Park, Elmhurst Park, Connaught Park, Pinecrest Creek Trail) and the surrounding areas.

Meet us at Frank Ryan Field House on Saturday, April 27, 2019 from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM to get supplies and choose an area to clean. Latex gloves and garbage bags will be provided. In the event of rain, we will reschedule to Saturday, May 4, 2019.

If you are willing to help coordinate alternate pickup sites for supplies, such as the frequently recommended Connaught Park entrance, please send us an email as we would appreciate your help.

The 2017 sampling season will focus on stream assessment, fish community sampling and will also include cleanup, planting, sampling/identification sessions and invasive species removal.
