DGNA Initiatives

 Pollinator Projects 2021, 2022, certification

Transforming front yards, school grounds, public parks, and pedestrian pathways from grass turf to native flower gardens that help pollinators such as butterflies and bees. The most recent project is transforming the pedestrian pathway between Pilkington to Santamonica into an environmentally-friendly garden that will host native flowers and shrubs, and beautify our neighbourhood.

Earth Day Cleanups 2017, 2019, 2022

Family-friendly cleanups of Massey Creek at St. Clair Ravine and Oates Park as part of Earth Day celebrations. A great way to help the environment, explore our lovely local ravine while participating in a fun outing with the family. Cleanup events include additional activities such as Community Picnics and Creek Pop Can Races.
