Wednesday April 10th, 1-6pm - Garden & Playground Clean up DONE!  Thank you, Tractiono on Demand, Bandit Tour.  The garden and playground look amazing and safe.

Saturday April 27th, 11-2pm - Friends Park Clean Up

Thanks to our Facebook community who asked for the Clean Toronto Day to be on a weekend date. Saturday April 27^th from 11am-2pm we’ll be in the park handing out bags and (limited) gloves to anyone who wants to volunteer. We’re collaborating with both the West Queen West and Trinity Bellwoods BIAs for this clean up, and are excited to move efforts beyond the park and into the surrounding streets as needed to really make an impact. Look for our tent by the greenhouse to learn more about Trinity Bellwoods.

*The WQW BIA has donated five $50 e-gift cards which we will hold a draw for among the volunteers registered, so be sure to register onsite for your chance to win!

We accept paper handled bags, swag bags but NO plastic single use ones.
Drop them at the organizers tent when you come up to shop.

Currently we are not looking for any more vendors for the 2019 season. It is still always good to know who's out there. Vendors are welcome to fill our the 'Vendor information form'. We are only able to respond to vendors of interest and that fit within our mandate. 

Heads up and mark your calendars park people!  We have mustered up a meeting after the New Year and you're all invited.  It'll take place in the main floor activity room (eastern end) of Trinity Community Rec Centre (155 Crawford).   If you'd like to bring something to the agenda, email us at least 5 days before so we can accomodate.  Look forward to seeing your friendly faces then. Happy New Year!

October 2018 Newsy-letter

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.
