Build Day - June 16th Cancelled

Hi Everyone,

Our Build Day for the coming Saturday is cancelled, as I'm afraid I have some bad news. I contacted ATCO recently regarding getting their approvals to proceed with the garden within the pipeline right of way, and ATCO has denied us permission to put anything in within 35 meters of the pipeline, which is basically the entire space we had planned to put the garden in. Apparently this line is the main feed line for the entire city of Calgary, which means it's a little more important than just the regular street lines that feed our homes. At this point, our contact with the City of Calgary is looking into our options, including other potential sites within Acadia. Stay tuned for further developments.

Sincerely,

Linda Berry

Build First Box Sat June 16 10 am

Hello Acadia Community Garden Committee,

Yes, you read that correctly, we are having a build day! Well, sort of... we're building one 4X6 planter box, and a sign announcing the future site of the Acadia Community Garden.

We'd like you to be there. Come out to the dirt hump on Saturday, June 16th at 10am., and bring one plant of your choice to plant in the box.

We're putting this together out of leftover wood, so if you have any of the following, please bring them along too: scrap wood, leftover potting soil, leftover exterior paint, screws/nails.

I'll be bringing my tools along, and we'll try to have a few snacks and drinks available.

I look forward to seeing you there!  Sat, June 16 10 am
