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!

We only accept CLEAN bags, free of food and pet residue for our allergen friends. 
We accept paper handled bags, swag bags but NO plastic single use ones.
Drop them at the organizers tent when you come up to shop.

Currently we are not looking for any more vendors for the 2019 season. It is still always good to know who's out there. Vendors are welcome to fill our the 'Vendor information form'. We are only able to respond to vendors of interest and that fit within our mandate. 

Heads up and mark your calendars park people!  We have mustered up a meeting after the New Year and you're all invited.  It'll take place in the main floor activity room (eastern end) of Trinity Community Rec Centre (155 Crawford).   If you'd like to bring something to the agenda, email us at least 5 days before so we can accomodate.  Look forward to seeing your friendly faces then. Happy New Year!

UPDATE! Here are the notes from this meeting.  You can find other past meeting notes/minutes under the 'About'.
