As always, our Hort will be helping at the Ontario Horticultural Association's outreach table at the CNE. This is a fun and easy way for you to talk about your experience with our Hort, help others find a society or garden club near where they live, and just chat with other plant lovers!
Why is it especially nice to participate? You get to meet people and network with members from other Horts/Clubs, and you get into the CNE for FREE on the day that you volunteer! Consider coordinating a shift with a friend at the Hort and the two of you can make a day of it! After all, the CNE isn’t just a bunch of rides along a midway. There are judged plant shows, Super Dog performances, cat shows, a National Geographic photo exhibit, a Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation exhibit (the group with which the Dundas Roncesvalles Peace Garden is closely linked), a robotics competition, Gallivanting Giraffes, pinball tournaments, food trucks, a craft beer fest, historic CNE heritage walking tours, the popular food pavilion, musical performances, art displays, endless activities for kids... We are only just scratching the surface!
When: August 16th to September 2nd, 2019 — 2 shifts per day: 11am–3pm & 3pm–7pm.
Where: The Enercare Centre
Space is limited for this event. To reserve a shift at the OHA table, please send an email ASAP to ohacne@gmail.com with a CC to volunteers@parkdaletorontohort.com to loop in our Hort's volunteer coordinator, Maria, so that she can keep track of our volunteers' hours!
