Community Garden Workshop – April 24

April 24 at 7pm – Bayview Yards

Join us and help plan the Innovation Garden or your own backyard and balcony containers.

This container garden workshop is aimed at beginners who are interested in learning the basics of garden planning, potting soils, seed starting, and pest control. The workshop will go through the gardening year to help participants plan their gardens for the upcoming season.

A $5 donation is suggested to cover the cost of the workshop.

Hazardous and Electronic Waste Depots

The dates for the Tunney’s Pasture hazardous waste depots are now known, Sunday, May 6 2018 and Sunday, September 16 2018. See the city web site https://ottawa.ca/en/residents/garbage-and-recycling/hazardous-waste-and-special-items for a list of the items that are considered too hazardous for regular garbage (things like mercury filled fluorescent light bulbs).

If you have electronic waste (old computers, TVs and other equipment) or fabrics you want to get rid of, Connaught Public School (Rosemount and Gladstone) http://connaughtschoolyardrenewal.ca/ (oddly not listing their own event for this year, though it is listed in http://www.recycleyourelectronics.ca/) is taking them to help raise funds for school yard improvements. Electronics and textile recycling on Friday April 20 from 7:45 to 8:30 am and Saturday, April 21 from 8 am to 1 pm.

The city also has a list of other e-waste events. I see there is one nearby at Dovercourt on Saturday, April 14 2018, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Helmet Found

MdV says on the neighbourhood Facebook group:

Hi, does this helmet look familiar? It was left in our yard last weekend. If yours, pm me with address & we’ll deliver it.

If it’s yours, contact him there or send an e-mail to the webmaster here.

TD Park People Grants

If you’re interested, please apply to the Park People directly and send a note to the Champlain Park Community Association to keep us in the loop and to check for scheduling conflicts.

TD Park People Grants

When our parks come alive, people are happier, communities are more connected and cities thrive. That’s why the TD Park People Grants will provide $2000 to groups from Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal to help make community events like movie nights, harvest festivals and nature walks happen in parks.
