Yep, the ever popular and fun Trinity Bellwoods Yard Sale! yay. But please don't be contacting the Rec Centre about it until further notice. It's waaay too soon. Just wanted to get it up so you can plan ;-) Thanks!

Please join us for our general winter meeting of the Friends of Trinity Bellwoods Park. Our meeting is from 7-830pm in the Portuguese Women's room on the 2nd floor, by the elevator at TRC. We'll have the regular reports (green house, green space, farmers market etc.) on the agenda and any new things happening. If you would like to add any 'New Business' on the agenda, please contact us at least three days before to include. Also, the Path Upgrade/Bikeways Open House is on from 4-8pm same day. It will be a topic of discussion for the Friends and it will be a good opportunity to hear your thoughts after you have checked it out - they'll be in the big room on the 2nd floor.

All are welcome. Look forward to seeing you!

Monday Feb. 1st, 6:30-9pm Metro Hall, 55 John St. Room 308-309. City Transportation Services Cycling Staff hold Public Consultation. Friends have concerns about one bikeway proposed to go through park. We feel it is important to consider all the kinds of traffic on park paths, beyond pedestrians and bicycles. We strongly encourage you to attend if you've got some in put. The time is now at this public consultation. For some more info/detail about this meeting, go to 'Recent Posts' on this site and see the related newsletter.

Here we go, first day of the 2010 Season! TBFM is happy to be returning to bring the community fresh, local, organic & naturally raised produce, meats, dairy other fine food products. To to www.tbfm.ca for more info. The market is community volunteer operated and is regularly in need of help, as it's a fluid situation and people come and go. If you can dedicate some time on your Tuesdays to help set up, or load vendor in/out, please contact me for more details. We'd love to have you and it's lots of fun in the urban outdoors of our Park.

The Toronto Public Space Committee presents

THE 5th ANNUAL HUMAN RIVER
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25th, 2009 @ 1:00 pm
Rain or shine.

http://www.humanriver.ca

Come join the Human River this Sunday!

Be a part of Toronto Public Space Committee's only annual community event, and celebrate Toronto's largest buried river, Garrison Creek. While the creek now rushes under homes, cafes, roads, and parks, we can still find signs of this lost river in tilting houses, dips in streets, buried bridges, and a string of green valleys.

This is the Human River's 5th year of fun and interactive storytelling. It's an opportunity to learn about and create history and performances, memories and rumours, city-planning and merry-making.

Summer is over and we're back. The Friends Fall Community meeting will be held Thursday Oct. 15th, 7-8:30pm at the Rec Centre. We'll be in the Activity Room on the main floor, near the washrooms. Come catch up, get involved, get familiar, have a say. Help plan for the Big 2010 Spring Park Day! Find out what's been going on about the; Playground, the tree inventory, Green House, Dog Committee, Farmers Market and Adopt-A-Tree. Hear from and discuss with other community members about their thoughts and ideas about our Park. Also, if you have any observations, comments, concerns and/or ideas about the events that occurred in the Park this past summer, lets hear the feedback. This meeting is the time to share them. All are welcome, the more the merrier.

HUMAN TRAIN FOR CLEAN AIR - Saturday September 26 8:30 AM - 4 PM

Starts in Weston, ends on Queen Street West Main Rally at Sorauren Park, 1 PM. Plan now to hop on board the Human Train to send a message to Premier McGuinty that he must act now to scrap plans to run hundreds of polluting diesel trains
a day through our neighbourhoods, and direct Metrolinx to use only clean, quiet electric trains for any expansion of rail traffic along the Georgetown corridor.

THE ROUTE OF THE HUMAN TRAIN: The Human Train will get rolling in Weston at 8:30 am with “Whistle Stops” in a
number of communities along the way. People will gather in Sorauren Park at 1:00pm to welcome the Human Train for the

Event: "Clean Air for Little Lungs Stroller Parade"
When: Monday, July 20th, 10 - 11 am
Where: In front of the Ontario Legislature (Queen's Park)
Why: Parents say NO to over 400 dirty diesel trains a day running through our neighbourhoods. For the sake of our children's health, tell Premier McGuinty that electric trains are the only solution. Bring your kids and noisemakers. Featuring a musical performance by children's entertainers, Soli and Rob, of Alistair Ant Productions.
