SECA has lots on the go this month!
Join us for a Picnic in the Park on June 22, 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Evergreen Drive Park (at Evergreen Grove SW). We’ll be celebrating Neighbour Day and commemorating 30 years of SECA service to our community. Enjoy the free food, fun, face-painting, crafty and creative activities and games, with the Backroads Traveler Band providing the live tunes. Please bring your chairs and picnic blankets. To volunteer for this informal gathering, please email [email protected].
SECA Walks and Talks: Shaping the Future of Shawnee Evergreen Together
Explore the essence of our community with the SECA Walks and Talks series! Delve into Shawnee Evergreen’s pathways, parks, and streets, sharing insights that will shape our neighbourhood’s future. We continue to build upon the successes of initiatives like last year’s #SECAChairs.
Our placemaking programs are driving these discussions, transforming shared spaces into vibrant community hubs through collective reimagination. This creative, participatory process is your chance to express your vision and help make Shawnee Evergreen a more vibrant, inclusive place.
Discover more and contribute to our community’s story by visiting walkstalks.yourseca.ca where you can register for future Walks and Talks events or leave a comment.

SECA Community Cleanup
SECA Community Cleanup (CCU) will take place September 14, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm in the parking lot of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the corner James McKevitt Rd and Everstone Blvd SW.
• As in past years, City packer trucks will accept general garbage (black bin stuff), and we have booked companies to collect your e-waste (most things with a cord), metal, gently used clothing, bikes, and housewares. We will also be collecting books in good condition for donation to our Little Free Libraries.
• Prohibited items include liquids, glass, large appliances and hazardous materials like batteries, propane tanks, paint, etc.
• New in 2024, we are partnering with “1 800 Got Junk” to provide a ‘pick up’ program for folks who are not able to bring their items to the CCU themselves.
If you would like more information or to volunteer, please email [email protected].
Calling all Gardeners!
Happy Spring to all the active and future gardeners in Shawnee-Evergreen! Are the mature trees in your yard creating too much shade for veggie/flower gardening? Are your kids’ toys taking up too much room to allow for a raised veggie bed?
If you are interested in a Shawnee-Evergreen community garden, let’s get connected to explore the possibilities. Please state your interest (or submit questions) to [email protected].
