Hey good people of Trinity Bellwoods Park, just sos ya know the final day of the 2019 season is Tuesday October 29th.  Please shop hard for these final weeks to stock up on local food goods and send off our vendors well for the off season.

The final basket draw of the season is October 22nd.  Spend $20 or more at a vendor or vendors and  you are eligible to win.  You may enter multifple times, so get shopping!  By entering the draw the winner agrees to pick up the basket on Oct. 29th at a pre-arranged time during market hours.  Basket must be accepted as presented.  

Bring your re-useable shopping bags and why not containers as well.  

Wasteless as much as you can is the game.

The annual Trinity Bellwoods Big Yard Sale is run by the City of Toronto  (not the Friends).  Registration apparently is May 13th. The event will be on June 15th.  Any further information contact the  Trinity Community Center at 416-392-0743.  

The reno is on folks. Access is limited.  Please go around the park instead of making a new foot/bicyle trodden path running along the fencing.  It's a amazing how quickly the ground is getting worn down. It will take the good part of summer for it to bounce back, if not next season.

The work is supposed to take 6-8 weeks.  Cross our fingers that our new and improved circle path will be completed to enjoy for the summer. And the drainage issue is resolved!

Wednesday April 10th, 1-6pm - Garden & Playground Clean up DONE!  Thank you, Tractiono on Demand, Bandit Tour.  The garden and playground look amazing and safe.

Saturday April 27th, 11-2pm - Friends Park Clean Up

Thanks to our Facebook community who asked for the Clean Toronto Day to be on a weekend date. Saturday April 27^th from 11am-2pm we’ll be in the park handing out bags and (limited) gloves to anyone who wants to volunteer. We’re collaborating with both the West Queen West and Trinity Bellwoods BIAs for this clean up, and are excited to move efforts beyond the park and into the surrounding streets as needed to really make an impact. Look for our tent by the greenhouse to learn more about Trinity Bellwoods.

*The WQW BIA has donated five $50 e-gift cards which we will hold a draw for among the volunteers registered, so be sure to register onsite for your chance to win!
