The park is looking absolutely magical with the snow. Get out side and enjoy the sun and some winter activities in the park.  The hills were alive with tobogganers the other day. Several cross country skiers are out there and of course the dogs love leaping in the white stuff.

note: Please continue to be respectful to park/trees, fellow park patrons and 'pick up' the brown matter after your pet. ta

The parade is followed by the Pumpkin-Toss!  Arrive around 9pm to toss the pumpkins (we remove the candles) into the bin provided by the city, for composting. The 'toss'  is done because if we don't, they get smashed over night, not a pretty sight for young eyes the next day, let alone it's a smashing mess.

Clean up of the green house and native perennial plant maintenance!  Come out and join the FoTB greenhouse team to do some seasonal cleaning, trimming and assorted horticultural activities and some hot tea and donuts.

The Friends are having a Fall Park meeting!  Yay.  Don't happen too often, so hope you can attend. Come get familiar with other park volunteers, how to help us, how to get your idea off the ground or support our existing initiatives. There'll be our usual updates on our park doings i.e. Park days, greenhouse, adopt-a-tree, market etc.  As  well as eventual path improvements, bike share stall re-locate, rogue events.  If you have something you'd like to add/bring to the agenda email us This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.at least 4 days before the meeting to accomodate.  If you miss this time frame, we'll do our best to accomodate on the day.  Thank you!  Hope to see you on OCT. 16th 7-9pm.  Room to be confirmed, failing that, just ask at the desk where we are!
