Neighbourhood Social: Exploring Stormwater with Credit Valley Conservation
Saturday, October 28, 10 to 11:30 a.m., Joseph Gibbons Park
Looking for a fun, family-friendly and educational activity this fall? Want to learn how rain can be managed in school yards and parks? Curious about how you can help keep Silver Creek clean and healthy? Join CVC for an educational walk at George Kennedy Public School, Joseph Gibbons Park and the Trees for Halton Hills Arboretum. Learn how rain gardens, trees and other features can slow down and soak up stormwater to create beautiful spaces to learn and play.
Hot apple cider, coffee and treats will be provided at the beginning of the walk. Please bring a reusable mug to help reduce waste.
Participants will also receive a free copy of CVC’s Native Plants for Rain-ready Landscapes booklet and free native wildflower seeds to sow at home this fall.

It’s a Challenge!
'A tree for every resident of Halton Hills'
We’re greening our Town and hope you will want to pitch in.
The goal is one tree planted for every resident of Halton Hills.
That’s 65,000 trees in the next five years. Why? Because trees are environmental superpowers and make our Town more beautiful. Trees are essential for life! We want everyone to plant trees – homeowners, school groups, business owners, church congregations, real estate developers and the municipal government so we can reach our goal. YOU CAN JOIN IN!
