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

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
A Healthy Future for the Trees of Trinity Bellwoods Park
The Friends of Trinity Bellwoods Park has been working closely with the City of Toronto for many years to improve the health of the tree canopy and green space in the Park. To better inform future planting decisions and work to re -establish an ‘Arboretum’ status for the Park, the Friends’ have initiated a project this summer to inventory and assess all of the 800+ trees in the Park.
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.
