Earth Day Litter Cleanup
Saturday, April 26, we’ll be meeting at 10:00 am at our hall. Let’s all celebrate Earth Day by picking up the litter that has accumulated through the winter on the sidewalks and green spaces around our neighbourhood. Picking up litter helps keep it out of our rivers and creeks, as it will otherwise get washed or blown into the storm drains, which, for Highland Park, feed into our buried section of Confederation Creek and then into Nose Creek. Bring your own work or gardening gloves and grabbing tools if you have them. Trash bags will be provided. We’ll all meet back at the hall at noon to do a group photo and enjoy some light refreshments. Hope to see you there! For more information, email Tina at [email protected].
Seniors’ Luncheon
These have restarted with our new Lead Volunteer for the program, Vanessa Gillard; you can reach her via the [email protected] email. The luncheons are now being held on Saturdays, approximately once per month. We are working toward having a consistent Saturday of the month in the future, but for now we are scheduling them around our existing Saturday rental bookings. The next date is May 24.
Community Market
Saturday, May 31, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at our hall. Multiple volunteers are needed to make this event a success, doing a variety of tasks, between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm; to volunteer please use our online signup form at https://signup.com/go/TGqCYbJ.
