Help keep our neighbourhood healthy and vibrant. Our spring cleanup is scheduled for Saturday, April 30th from 9:30 to 11:30 AM, rain or shine. Meet us at Frank Ryan Park for supplies!

We are also looking for volunteers to assist with our tree giveaway and in helping reduce the impact of the Spongy moth (LDD). If you are interested in either of these activities, please contact nature.qtn@gmail.com.

If you plan on attending, we ask that participants follow public health guidelines to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 and maintain physical distance of at least two meters (six feet) where possible.

UPDATE (2022-04-26): We have received burlap and twine from the City’s Forestry Services to distribute so you can build your own Spongy moth trap (please measure the circumference of your tree(s) so we can cut the length of burlap you require!) A demonstration will be setup at Frank Ryan Park on April 30th or you can follow the City’s instructions here:
