WEEDERS WANTED

“IN THE SPRING, AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU SHOULD SMELL LIKE DIRT.”

MARGARET ATWOOD

If you are willing to smell like dirt, if only for a little while, please come and join us on Tuesdays at 10:30am to help weed, prune and add mulch to the Centennial Garden. The Garden is in need of a little attention, and some WHMCA members have committed to beating the weeds and over growth into submission.

Many hands make light work so come out and help if you can.

There are toys and activities for children and it’s a great opportunity to meet new neighbours and friends.
