Upcoming Activities

Things we hope to do, pending town approval:

April 25th Clean up in Lion's park
May 9th Fish project, which involves painting yellow fish with stencils next to manholes and drains in town to remind folks about things that can go into our waterways.

Plants flowers that we've grown ourselves, beneath the Maison des Jeunes windows.
Go to farmer markets to see what is available locally and find out how "green" the food really is.
We will have a booth at the Brome Ecosphere in September.

Be the change

Use soy candles, unlike paraffin candles, which are made from petrol, soy candles are made from natural ingredients and release ninety percent less soot into the air. You'll save energy, keep your indoor air cleaner and perhaps start a few sparks of your own.
