Wishing you a warm and merry holiday!
Friends of Roseneath Park wishes all of our friends and neighbours a safe and warm holiday as the city recovers from a major ice storm. Roseneath Park has a few fallen branches, but is in relatively good shape. The sick ash trees on both sides of the main path were removed in the fall which, no doubt, spared us worse damage in this storm. Thank you to Parks and Forestry for this preventative work and for the emergency recovery work they now have across the city.

What’s ahead for 2014?
We are excited to start on our mosaic project this spring with
Arts for Children and Youth. Have you
seen the work AFCY does? It’s
amazing! http://www.afcy.ca/gallery We are grateful to the Weston Foundation
which is generously funding this community building, eco-art education initiative
with a $20,000 grant.
As a group, we still have lots of work ahead of us raising
funds for the playground and community garden.
We continue to look for funding sources from grants and we need your
help both to find applicable grants and to write grant applications. Contact me at roseneath@hotmail.ca if you are up to
the task!
The Friends of Roseneath Park’s Community Eco-Action project
is also listed on the Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation Website and you can
donate directly to the project here: https://torontoparksandtrees.org/roseneath-park Donations over $10 will receive a tax
receipt.
Thank you all for a year of much progress in the park. I can’t wait to see it come to life in 2014!
