Wednesday January 20th, 2016, 7pm to 8:30pm we are having a winter park meeting!  Now you may think, what the heck could be happening in the park now?  Tis is not the point, while the park sleeps away the months, now is the time to work on any initiatives for the park for the coming season, get updates on current projects/ideas that have come to the Friends or that we have initiated.  It's also a good time to meet your park neighbours, get involved and build community.  Because this is what sustains us. Hope to see you there.

The SOCEC, will be presenting a proposal that may interest park users.  If you'd like to contribute to the discusion, better come!  Their blurb below...

"Sustainability Ontario Energy Co-operative (SOCEC) is developing a community solar light and charging station and is seeking a project partner for the location of the charging station. The project will be the first of its kind in Toronto and will contribute to truly unique green space in the city of Toronto. The development of the solar charging station by SOCEC will act as a platform to demonstrate accessible sustainable energy by fostering community engagement."

Minutes from Nov. 4th, 2015 here - nov.4-15_mins_fotb.pdf

Here's a few images from the damage that Zack & Carolyn did around the greenhouse.  Thank you Marina, Velivor and Gala who showed up later to help. For those that hoped to get out, but didn't, there's always Spring Park day!

On Tuesday Sept. 8th, we posted on our facebook page....."Our sources tell us that clean up in the park was the worst ever after a weekend, in particular Bellwoods Brewery bottles. They don't do a deposit, therefore do not do returns.  Which means, put the darn bottles in the recycle bin people because even our community bottle collectors have no use for them. Make sense? Be a responsible citizen and  #dontbealitterbug. Please spread the word.  Thanks!"  We also tweeted. Well it garnered some attention, namely from Bellwoods Brewery.  Mike Clark, owner/brewer reached out to us and some pretty cool things happened over the next few days.  Thank you Mike, good work for all. Check out link below for details.  Please don't litter, return or recycle your emties. Better yet, take them to the Beer Store and collect that 10 cents per empty! yay!
