Celebrate Earth Day in Stanley Park
Earth Day (April 22) is celebrated every year with events across Canada and the world to demonstrate support for environmental protection and action, and now has never been a more important time to get involved.
On Sunday, April 21, Vancouverites can learn more about local ecology and take environmental action by heading over to Stanley Park where Stanley Park Ecology Society is putting on two community events.
A family-friendly interpretative Earth Day walk with a focus on forest ecosystems and their role in creating a healthy planet takes place at 10 am-12 noon. Meet at the Stanley Park Nature House, under the viewing plaza on Lost Lagoon (north end of Alberni Street). Participation is free.
If you want to get involved in taking hands-on action with other volunteers to conserve Stanley Park’s native biodiversity from alien invasive plant species, meet SPES at the Stanley Park Dining Pavilion at 12:30 pm for a 2 ½ hour outdoor event. For this particular event we ask you to pre-register by Friday, April 19; stewardship@stanleyparkecology.ca or 604-718-6547. The event is free and all tools are supplied. Wear sturdy shoes and long pants.

Trashtalk Project Seeks Recycling Champions
Trashtalk Project Seeks Recycling Champions
Do you live in an apartment or condo in Mount Pleasant or the West End? Do you want to recycle your food scraps? Do the words “neighbour engagement” and “composting” get you jazzed up?
Then we need you for a unique project that seeks recycling champions to take the lead in creating innovative food scraps and other recycling programs for residents in multi-family buildings.
With leadership from the Mount Pleasant and Gordon Neighbourhood Houses and the Recycling Council of BC, this is your chance to make a difference!
