Cancelled – Christmas tree forest at Frank Ryan Park

UPDATE (2022-01-02): Due to the insufficient quantity of snow at the park to support the trees we sadly have to cancel the Christmas tree forest this year. You can use the yard waste collection on Thursday to dispose of your tree or you can also consider alternative usages in your own backyard. Here are some ideas found online: https://treecanada.ca/blog/five-ways-your-christmas-tree-can-live-on-after-the-holidays/

Are we bringing the Christmas tree forest back to Frank Ryan Park? Yes! Pending enough snow… Mark your calendar for drop-off and “snow planting” on January 8, 2022. Please wait for the confirmation post to come in the new year.

If you are a high school student and would like to volunteer, please email nature.qtn@gmail.com.

Official Unveiling of the Frank Ryan Park Fieldhouse Mural (Nov 10 @ 4 PM)

On November 10th at 4 pm the Official Unveiling of the Frank Ryan Park Fieldhouse Mural will be happening.

Come on out!!

The QTN CA successfully applied for a Crime Prevention Ottawa  grant to beautify the neighbourhood, address graffiti issues and engage youth.

The Paint It Up mural project Unveiling is happening!!

Six area youth worked with House of Paint and local artist Jimmy Baptiste to design and paint a mural on the Frank Ryan Park building. The painting took  place 16-21 August

Check out Jimmy’s FB and Instagram pages:

The youth learned about the art, techniques and design. They also had a chance to develop presentation and public speaking when they present their designs at an Online community consultation that happened in August pre-art work.
