Garibaldi raspberries and mint (lupins and more) for your garden

The kids will be potting up escaped raspberries and mint during the lunch garden club this Friday. The plants can be taken home at pick up time, so you can enjoy them in your own garden too! Planting instruction sheets will be available, if you are unsure of how and where to plant them.
Many baby lupin, fennel, calendula and borage plants are available as well and can be easily dug up and taken home.
If you need to fill your front garden with decorative plants, there are still some by the raspberry patch. Help yourself any time.

We need plastic planters for the job! If you have any kicking around, could you bring them to school tomorrow and leave them by the tool shed? You are also welcome to join us for the potting itself during lunch hour.

The kale in the garden begs to be eaten:) If you have the munchies, just bring a plastic bag along and pick some!

Come help release Chum fry into the Spanish Bank Creek this Thursday

There will only be one Chum drop this year at Spanish Bank Creek due to renovation activities at the Kanaka Creek hatchery.

 

Sandie Hollick-Kenyon will be bringing 20,000 Chum fry to the Creek on Thursday, April 25 at 7 PM.

 

If you would like to help us put the fry into the Creek, turn up with water-proof footwear and dressed to suit the weather, at the parking lot on NW Marine Drive where the Creek flows into English Bay (about 100 meters west of the Concession Stand at Spanish Bank West beach).

 

Sandie has pails for carrying the fry up the creek. Children are really welcome and they can release fry from the Chum Drop Platform located only a few steps from where Sandie parks the truck with the fry. Dogs are not so welcome.

Hastings Community Association Governance Meeting

Dear Hastings Sunrise PAC members,

 

I have been representing the Hastings Community Association at the City of Vancouver's Stakeholder Advisory Committee regarding the future governance of Hastings Park. Unfortunately, my experience has not been a great one. The process has been less than transparent and, because of this lack of openness, I feel that I have been unable to truly represent the community's interests.

 

On March 11th at Hastings Community centre, the City held an open house where they presented 3 potential governance options. Over 70 people attended and the consensus was pretty clear -- the options put forward by the city do not meet the needs of the community.

 

Because of the lack of real community consultation by the city, a group of neighbourhood representatives from Hastings Community Association, Hastings Park Conservancy, West Coast Christian Fellowship and School, and Friends of Hastings Park have come together to organize a community-led public meeting to determine the important elements in a governance model that would meet the needs of our neighbourhood and the public interest in general.

 

The meeting will be held on

 

April 15 @ 7:00-8:30pm

@ Hastings Community Centre (Lillooet and Hastings) in the Community Hall

 

We hope that each PAC will send at least one representative and work with us in helping to bring community voices to Hastings Park.

 

Thanks,

Sherry Breshears

Board Member, Hastings Community Association
