Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer, and managing to stay cool.

The summer has been crazy busy in the park as you'll have noticed if you've been out, with particularly high numbers on the weekends.  They're
all enjoying the shade of the trees thanks to you!

For those who haven't attended a training in a while, our partners LEAF put out a timely reminder about tree watering which I'm sharing with you
as a reminder (https://bit.ly/2LqXgZ2).  Please have a peek, and hopefully it inspires you to get out and visit your tree soon if you haven't been
out for a while.

We've been doing training in the park all summer adding new adopters, and I'm so pleased every time I run into someone watering their tree.  It's a
great community, and I appreciate very much being a small part of it.

Stay cool, and do reach out or post on our facebook page (@FriendsofTrinityBellwoods or @Adoptatreeprogram) if you have any tree
news for our community!

With thanks,

Kathryn Money
Volunteer, Friends of Trinity Bellwoods

On Sunday April 22nd 11am to 4pm,  Earth Day Canada returns with their pop-up adventure playground.  It's for the kids and the kids in us.  They'll probably set up near the playground. Here' the link to their event  Springfree for Earth Day Pop-Up Adventure Playground

Farmers' Market season starts May 8th and runs to October 30th.  Are you available once a week for a few hours? If you are interested in helping sustain the market, getting to know farmers/vendors, appreciate the park-outdoors and not afraid of a little physical work, then this is for you. It's a rewarding experience and our vendors truly appreciate the hand. 

Key shifts are as follows with general tasks, but not limited to:

12:30 to 2pm - Early set up - pylons reserve vendor parking. Some site clean up if necessary. 

2pm to 3:30pm - Vendor load in, transport product to stall location, various organizational tasks.

3:30 to 7:30pm - Help with general tasks during market, tend the info tent.

6:30 to 7:45pm - Wrap/clean up for vendors and organizational.  Set up in reverse.

You can sign up for any length of time during the season.  Some volunteers do the entire season, some do a few months or take a break and come back in the fall.  We understand unforeseen events may cause volunteers to reschedule. We simply ask to give us as much notification as possible so we can ensure there's enough help on hand any given market day. Easy peasy!  All you have to do is complete the volunteer application form and scan/email it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Community volunteer hours for students are available. In the event we get an influx, we may have to put applications on hold.

We sometimes need volunteers outside of market season for various tasks (flyer/lawn sign distrubution, painting, handy work etc.) Market logistics is team work and many of our local community members have made some awesome contributions over the years.  We are so grateful for their generousity over the years and welcome newbies.
