Our Forest Returns Saskatoon

  Historic Places Days Every Place A Story Dr .George Genereux Olympic Gold Medalist Sunday July 24 at 2:00 pm Visiting a historical place is an experience that cannot be replicated online – it can engage all five senses! The immersive experience of visiting in-person is something we have all missed during the pandemic, and this is a great opportunity to come and get the full experience of an in-person visit. This is also an opportunity to explore and engage with George Genereux Urban Regional Park, through hearing, touch, sound, and smell. There are so many more ways to explore George Genereux Urban Regional Park than just to have a look around! Visit us during #HistoricPlacesDays to experience the sounds, smells, feeling, and even the taste of our historic site!  Contest through @nationaltrustca Sunday July 24 at 2:00 pm EcoTour Hosted by Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas. http://www.friendsareas.ca/ #National Trust for Canada, #opportunity #experience #canada #Histor

The City of Saskatoon wants your opinion!  With your input into the questionnaire the afforestation areas could be added into the Blairmore Sector – hence the name of the Blairmore Sector Plan Amendment and boundary size changes. What happens if the afforestation areas remain in the South West Sector as utility corridors?  Should the Blairmore Sector expand its boundaries for these two afforestation area potential park spaces?  Why?  The deadline for the questions about the West Swale wetlands, and opportunities, and comments is this Friday, July 8!  http://friendsareas.ca/  https://stbarbebaker.wordpress.com/2022/06/18/questions-for-you-the-time-is-now/   🙃🙂👍🫵👨‍👨‍👦👨‍👧‍👧🦅🦆🦇🐝🦋🪰🐜🐢🦌🐕🐩🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐕‍🦺🐾🌳🌲🌲🌳🌳🌲🐁🍄🥀🌾🍁🍂🌸🌼🌞🌳🌲🌲🌳🌳🌲🐿🐇🐇🦤🦚🐝🐜🪰🦉🐥🦆🐥🐦🐦🦋🦋
