The Friends of Trinity Bellwoods Park (FoTBP) bring you the Annual Pumpkin Parade!  

The parade takes place along the east-west footpath that runs off Crawford near Lobb (north of playground)  Drop off your carved pumpkins along the footpath (side by each) on both sides, anytime on Wednesday Nov. 1st, with a tea light inside. All pumpkins displayed will be lit by a volunteer.  Enjoy the 'parade' and enjoy some free hot cider, from 6pm until it runs out.

The parade is followed by the Pumpkin-Toss!  Arrive around 9pm to toss the pumpkins (we remove the candles) into the bin provided by the city, for composting. The 'toss'  is done because if we don't, they get smashed over night, not a pretty sight for young eyes the next day, let alone it's a smashing mess.

Clean up of the green house and native perennial plant maintenance!  Come out and join the FoTB greenhouse team to do some seasonal cleaning, trimming and assorted horticultural activities and some hot tea and donuts.

The Friends are having a Fall Park meeting!  Yay.  Don't happen too often, so hope you can attend. Come get familiar with other park volunteers, how to help us, how to get your idea off the ground or support our existing initiatives. There'll be our usual updates on our park doings i.e. Park days, greenhouse, adopt-a-tree, market etc.  As  well as eventual path improvements, bike share stall re-locate, rogue events.  If you have something you'd like to add/bring to the agenda email us This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.at least 4 days before the meeting to accomodate.  If you miss this time frame, we'll do our best to accomodate on the day.  Thank you!  Hope to see you on OCT. 16th 7-9pm.  Room to be confirmed, failing that, just ask at the desk where we are!

This annual massive beloved art crawl returns this weekend!  And the weather is looking awesome for it, finally.  They also have lots going on besides the art sales. Please visit their website for full on deets.  www.queenwestartcrawl.com and here's  Event Guide and event map.  

Do you frequent our park, or any city park?  Parks, Forestry and Recreation want to hear from you! This survey City of Toronto Parkland Strategy survey, is the first of two.  This first one seeks your input on the amount of parkland currently available and how you use City parks.  This is anonymous survey and your reponses will be kept completely confidential.  It takes a mere 10 minutes to complete - shorter than a line up for your coffee ;-)  It will be open for your valuable responses from August 23rd to October 2nd, 2017.  Please take the time, it's important if you like our city parks.  This is your opportunity to help shape things.
