For the second half of the evening, Friends of Trinity Bellwoods and Park People will discuss how communities can organize to care for local parks.  Friends of Trinity Bellwoods will describe how we host events, review permit applications, and ask for donations from film companies on location in our park.  We will also give a brief history of our adopt-a-tree program, farmer's market, greenhouse, playground and outreach strategy.  Executive Director, Dave Harvey will present Toronto Park People's new Park Friends Group Handbook. Park People needs your input to empower communities across the GTA to care for local parks.  Park People is also looking for feedback on their new website at http://www.parkpeople.ca/.

This is the third "Park Success Stores" meeting organised by the new Park People organisation.  These meetings help all the individual "Friends of..." groups -- and their neighbors -- around the city share and brainstorm ideas for their local parks.  Come and hear what other groups are doing.
