*New* Gardening Workshop - Pallet and transplant

The next gardening workshop in the 2013 series is going to be held on Friday May 17 from 1 - 3 pm. It will be held at Ralph Brown Community Centre 460 Andrews Street; through the McGregor Street entrance). 

You will be able to make a pallet garden to grow flowers, vegetables or herbs. Its a neat way to grow greens the green way! You'll also get some handy information on how to transplant your seedlings to your garden (pallet or otherwise). 

If you plan on coming, we'd appreciate you letting us know for planning purposes, but it isn't required. Feel free to contact Sharon, our new Community Development worker at 204-927-2340 or Madelaine at 204-290-4214 or send us an email at stjohnsra@gmail.com.

Workshop coming up next.. Planting day!

Community Cleanup 2013

Its getting to be that time of year again. Join us on Saturday May 11 from 10 am to Noon for our annual Community Cleanup (Rain or Snow!).

This year will be slightly different from others. We will have meetup locations along Salter Street at the corner of Redwood, Mountain, Machray and Atlantic. This is where you can sign in, grab your supplies and gloves and head out from there.

As we don't have autobins any longer, we will also be using these corners along Salter Street as the drop off location for your collected garbage. Bring your bags back to Salter Street meet ups (same as above)! You can grab more bags and supplies so that you don't have to carry a lot of stuff with you while you are out and about.

Please come to the nearest corner to the area you want to clean. So, if you want to clean Machray Park, please go to Salter at Machray so that we can track where we need volunteers!

The second change is where our BBQ is afterwards. We will be headed to Luxton Community Centre at 210 St. Cross Street. This is where all our wonderful volunteers from our cleanup as well as Seven Oaks, Inkster and Luxton will be meeting up. We will be having food followed by prizes here.

Look forward to seeing all our neighbours out and having a great feast afterwards. Keep watch here for updates and any possible tweeks to plans as the event nears.

Any questions? Leave them in comments, send us an email at stjohnsra@gmail.com or check us out on Facebook or Twitter!
