Merry Christmas from the Friends of Trinity Bellwoods Park!

Fall back. Don't forget to turn those clocks back ONE HOUR before you go to bed on Saturday night. No, you aren't going mad. We used to do it a week before. Now it's the first Sunday in November for daylight saving. Remember, it was changed to align it with our neighbours south of us.

Usually held on the second floor art room at the Rec Centre. Come meet us, learn about our accomplishments and dialogue about plans for the future. Trinity Bellwoods Park is the biggest downtown green space in our City, and it takes committed volunteer community members to care for it, at any level. Getting involved is the first step to building a healthy community that is relaxing, safe, fun and social. We invite you to come to our meetings.

Come one come all to the Thanksgiving Weekend Fall Park Day!
What better way to pre-burn off the calories that'll you put on from the big meal you'll be eating over the next two days! As well as participate in keeping our park a clean, healthy and maintained urban greenspace.

Saturday October 6th, 2007.
From 10am to 1pm.
Rain or shine.

There will be planting, mulching, weeding, park clean up and the ever popular adopt-a-tree program.
So grab your gloves, big/small shovel and join us for this fun annual community event that we put on.

Gallery TPW and Trinity Square Video (TSV) are pleased to co-present Grand Gestures, an exhibition in three parts by the 640 480 Video Collective. Reflecting on the rapid obsolescence of video technology, Grand Gestures, memorializes and commemorates the vain attempts we make at preserving our memories.  Two plaques will be in Trinity Bellwoods parks as part of a series of bronze plaques temporarily installed along Queen Street West between TSV and Gallery TPW.  One plaque will be located on a light post at the South East corner staircase, while the other will be on a tree at the far South West edge of the park. Each bronze plaque will contain a partial transcription and poetic description of a personal video that has been created on Queen St., which 640 480 sourced from youtube.com.

This event is being put on by Toronto Public Space and takes place in the bowl. Along with a FREE outdoor screening of 'River and Tides' there will be a slide show and some craft and information booths.

Sounds like a good event to check out to help wind down the summer. Bring your own chairs or blankets to sit on! Enjoy.
