NeighbourWoods Planting Day is Approaching!

Thank you to all community residents that called 3-1-1 to express interest in having a tree planted through the NeighbourWoods Residential Tree Planting Program.  It will be a few years before we are offered this opportunity again.

The City gardeners have been busy visiting homes and determining placements of trees, marking the planting area with white circles and fronds.  The circles will be drilled out by a City contractor, providing a nice hole in which to plant the new tree. We will soon have over 100 new trees in the community!
