Community Walk About – May is the month of Jane’s Walks!

Want to experience the neighbourhood in a new way? Join Tyson from CDLI for a casual stroll in the community to explore and talk about the assets!

Keep an eye out for details in HSCA’s e-newsletter on the extra special May walk that will be hosted alongside other Jane’s Walks in the city.

Spring/Summer Volunteer Gardening Opportunity!

Now recruiting gardeners and gardeners-in-training for the 2023 Shared Garden season!

Spend an hour or so each week tending to this volunteer-run community garden and feeding your community! The Shared Garden differs from a traditional community garden because everyone works together to tend to all the plots, instead of having your own. All volunteers are welcome to share in the bounty, and the extra produce is donated to HSCA’s Sustainable Food Program to feed neighbours struggling to afford good food.

The Sunnyside Shared Garden is seeking lead garden volunteers (folks with enough knowledge of gardening to share with the other gardeners and help keep things moving forward) and general garden volunteers (to support planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting – no experience necessary!).

Sign up for this and all current volunteer opportunities through our volunteer portal at www.hsca.ca/volunteer.
