Evergreen Thanks the Ontario Trillium Foundation

Evergreen is hosting a thank-you event tomorrow night (Thursday) to celebrate the many shared accomplishments they have achieved thanks to the generous support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). The event is at Historic Fort York, the site of Evergreen's newest community garden.

For everyone not familiar, Evergreen is a not-for-profit organization that makes cities more livable. By deepening the connection between people and nature, and empowering Canadians to take a hands-on approach to their urban environments, Evergreen is improving the health of our cities — now and for the future.

They and the Trillium Foundation do great work - check out their websites at:

Parc Development Meeting - REMINDER TO COMMENT

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the meeting for the Parc development on Wednesday - it was a great turnout from the community.

The most important next step in this process is to send individual written comments to the city planner:

Jamaica Hewston (jhewsto@toronto.ca)

Please also feel free send your comments to us (NiagaraNN@hotmail.com). Remember, these comments are vital, as they go on the record with the city.

They're also vital because if you don't comment, you're not considered an interested party - and only interested parties can attend city or provincial meetings on the development.

Again: no comments on record = no access to make your voice heard in future.

Even if you didn't attend, your comments / thoughts on the process are important - so please take the time to send your comments!
