Friends of Park Lawn Park

Join us at Park Lawn Park after dark on November 1st from 6:30 - 8 PM to give your pumpkin a glowing goodbye! 🎃

• 🕯️ Bring 2 candles/tealights to let your pumpkin shine, one last time!

• 🚶‍♂️ Stroll through the parade of pumpkins and admire your neighbours' creativity.

• ♻️ Join the Pumpkin Toss at 8:00pm to toss your pumpkin into a City-provided bin to give your pumpkins an eco-friendly farewell (the City composts them).

Bring your carved Jack-O'-Lantern to the park and join hundreds of other pumpkins for a parade where we light up the night. It's an opportunity to see the community's creativity and connect with your neighbours!

Unfortunately there will be no Pumpkin Parade in
Park Lawn Park this year.

The tennis courts are open and the nets are up and ready for your next match!

**A friendly reminder that dogs are not permitted on the tennis courts.

VIRTUAL COMMUNITY TRAFFIC MEETING - TONIGHT @ 7pm

Are you concerned about increased cut-through traffic on our streets, speeding drivers, or pedestrian safety?

Join this virtual meeting tonight to hear from City Transportation Services Staff about traffic data (collisions, counts) and their proposed solutions to make our streets safer.

This is also your chance to highlight issues you see in our community and recommend changes: whether introducing new 4-way stops or crosswalks, reducing speeds on our local streets, or ways to keep traffic on the main arterials.

Share this meeting information widely with your neighbours.

Hi Neighbours,

The weather is supposed to be great tomorrow morning for our FREE weekly yoga session in Park Lawn Park at 9am.

Looking forward to breathing and meditating together!
