Christmas Tree Recycling

Recycle your Christmas Tree at the Champlain Park Baseball Diamond, anytime in January!!

It’s now time to collect trees in our neighbourhood at the park, as I am reminded by the appearance of the now traditional Kìchì Sìbì Winter Trail / Facebook post:

Now accepting Xmas trees. Drop off at Remic Rapids parking lot ONLY. Please remove all tinsel and other foreign objects. (But don’t rush it! Enjoy your tree as long as you can.)

The ones dropped off at the park will get used, though we’ll divert some for decorations for the Winter Carnival and rink windbreaks.

Christmas Tree Recycling

Recycle your Christmas Tree at the Champlain Park Baseball Diamond, anytime in January!!

It’s now time to collect trees in our neighbourhood at the park, as I am reminded by the appearance of the now traditional Kichi Sibi Winter Trail Facebook post:

Give your old Christmas tree a ‘second life’ by donating it to the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail. Trees will be used to create wind breaks and safety barriers/cordons at various locations along the Winter Trail at Remic Rapids. Trees can be brought to the North East corner of the Champlain Park baseball diamond or to Remic Rapids anytime in January, 2025. The Winter Trail team will then make sure they get to where they are needed. Some may show up around the rink too!

Thank you from the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail Team, and happy skiing!

All are Welcome! National Tree Day in the Park

Wednesday September 25th, is National Tree Day

Here is the announcement for an early evening event planned for Champlain Park to celebrate our bur oaks, their acorns, and the trees’ links to social history.

Please see The Champlain Oaks Project for more details:

This event will only occur if we have clear skies on Wednesday since it is planned as an OUTDOOR event and we do not have access to the fieldhouse.

All are welcome! We will have hot drinks, including hot chocolate, on hand. And we are lining up some special guests from outside the neighbourhood.

Plans finalized for bur oak planting on September 26

Dear friends and neighbours,

Please visit the Champlain Oaks site for details on this year’s event to celebrate National Tree Day.

You are invited to help The Champlain Oaks celebrate bur oaks on National Tree Day.
This year’s event–to be held between 10 a.m. and noon on Weds. Sept. 26–will involve about 70 students from St. George’s Elementary School on Keyworth Ave.
