3.FRIENDS WINTER/SPRING GENERAL MEETING + 'PARK PEOPLE - Thursday, March 1, 7pm - 8:30pm at the Trinity Recreation Centre at 155 Crawford Street - 2nd Floor Art Room.
We are going to combine our regular Friends of Trinity Bellwoods Community Meeting with a 'Park People" Meeting. Do you have an interest or concern having to do with Trinity Bellwoods Park? Want to volunteer in the park? Give us a shout in advance and we'll put it on the agenda, or simply come by and we'll add it to "Other Business"
For the second half of the evening, please join Park People and Friends of Trinity Bellwoods to 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. All Welcome!
