Old North End Gets Money to Green the Neighbourhood

14 thousand dollars from the Environmental Trust Fund will be spent to beautify the old North End by cleaning it up and greening it.

Kurt Peacock with One Change says there will be several projects on the go as part of the One Change Neighbourhood Sustainability Plan.

The various projects include a community garden at the edge of Shamrock Park and the planting of greenery all along Main Street.

Peacock says they're also getting young people in the neighbourhood involved in the planting and cleaning up of the area block by block. He adds, by taking an active role, they will gain pride in where they live.
