Hello Neighbours!
Our outdoor programs have launched including our popular youth soccer and the community garden. We are always looking for assistance with the soccer program, in particular for someone to become the Soccer Director. This is a great way to get involved in the community, meet your neighbours, and develop lasting relationships.
The Garden Committee has begun its planning for the spring and will be preparing the growing spaces following the cold winter months. Our volunteers have developed a beautiful space for our community to enjoy. The Food Forest, the perennial beds, and the Herb Circle are welcoming ways to get involved in the garden.
Community events for 2022 are confirmed. Mark your calendars for our upcoming events which include:
- Annual General Meeting – April 28
- Parkdale Party in the Park – June 18
- July Stampede Breakfast – July 16
- Parkdale Petfest – September 10
I am really proud and thankful for the amazing volunteers in our community – from our Board of Directors who are leading by example, the coaches and organizers on the soccer field, the garden volunteers who are creating a beautiful space for our community to enjoy, the volunteers that make our events successful, the rink volunteers that ensured our rink was flooded and shoveled all season, and to the planning and development volunteers that are focused on making sure our community is being built with Parkdale’s values in mind. If you are interested in joining the Board or a Committee, now is the time to do so! We are seeking new members! With our AGM approaching on April 28, consider volunteering for your community. Interested volunteers can email [email protected] for more information.
Happy spring everyone!
Amanda Affonso
