It's back and it's going to be huge this year, we can feel it in our pumpkin seeds.  At 5pm Thursday Nov.1st, 2018 start lining up your pumpkins along the park path that runs east from Lobb/Crawford, towards the north end of playground. Volunteers will be on hand to help you light your candles one last time. Huge thank you to the Lucky Penny for donating free hot cider - while supplies last.  Here's the  Pumpkin Parade facebook event.  It's a very photogenic, social media worthy situation, include the @FriendsofTriBel twitter and use  #TBPumpkinParade

Stick around, or come back once the kiddies are in bed, because at 9:30pm, the great pumpkin toss begins!  Yep, volunteers will haul them all to the compost bin - specifically onsite for this purpose - supplied by the city.  Almost as popular as the parade.  Excellent evening work out too.

The dogs days of fall are upon us. These are also listed on this website calendar.

Saturday Oct.13th 10am-1pm BARKTOBERFEST at the Trinity gates hosted by TEAM Dog Rescue 

Saturday Oct. 20th 9am-3pm SOS GARAGE SALE hosted by Save Our Scruff

The market is winding down as we enter October.  Final day of season is Tuesday Oct. 31st, 2018.  Though, this does not mean what's showing up on the tables is winding down. In fact, it's bounty time and a good time to stock up, do some canning, freezing and/or dehydrating to enjoy local bounty during the off season - think soups, stews, baking! yum. Lots of fresh greens happening, as well as baked goods, kombucha, mushrooms, bread, cheese, chicken, beef, apples, tortillas and much more.  

Our final basket draw is Oct 23rd.  That's 3 market days that you can enter each day you spend $20 or more.  Full entry elibility details can be found here. Or just ask at market table.  Visit our dedicated site for more about the market.  Follow us on social media for the lastest news.

Re-useable cloth bags are always for sale - $4 gets you a re-useable cloth bag that includes a super cute market button (original illustration commissioned just for this purpose).  All proceeds go directly to market operations.  While supplies last . 

Alternatively, if the above is not your 'bag', feel free to participate, as many have, with our 'Leave a bag/Take a bag' program. Forget your shoppingn bag? Patrons are free to help themselves to the re-useable bag that other patrons have donated  It's a cyclical thing.  Please donate, we're very low right now.  We only accept clean (free of pet/food residdue for our allergen friends) re-useable bags.  No single use grocery store plastics.  Please and thank you.

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,
