Fall Clean-Up (Oct 14)

A little bit late but summer weather appears to have finally come! The grass is green and unfortunately there’s some garbage in it as well.

Come help clean up our neighbourhood. We will be cleaning Frank Ryan Park, Elmhurst Park, Connaught Park, Pinecrest Creek Trail and the surrounding area.

Meet us at Frank Ryan Field House on Saturday, October 14, 2017 from 9AM-11AM to get supplies and choose an area to clean. Latex gloves and garbage bags will be provided.

If you have any questions please reach out directly with Susan or the QTNca. Alternatively, join the Facebook event.
