Jackie Venter and Laura Peacock want to thank EVERYONE who worked so darn hard to make our June 13 Community FireSmart Clean up a fantastic success!!!
Thank you to our volunteers Bob Fuger, Bill Kerr, Patti Vickers, Doug Vickers, Mryl Coulter, Phil Hyde, George Coulter, Dave Forseth, Shelley Hyde, Ella van Dinther, Tim Zimmerman and Anton Venter. Boy did all of you work hard!!!
Thank you to the City of Kelowna's Fire Department for the community chipping service grant!
Thank you to Action Trees for your incredibly prompt clean up on the morning of June 15th!
Thank you to Dunn Enzie's for the fantastic WARM pizza - so good!
Thank you to the City of Kelowna's Strong Neighbourhoods Department for the Neighbourhood Association grant funding to pay for the food and drink and other sundry expenses!
WOW.
We probably got 3/5 of the conifers limbed up along Country Club Drive.
Jackie put together this fun video so you get an idea of just how much got done.
And, as the attached map illustrates, we focused on the area around the corner of Via Centrale and Country Club and got this basically done. We then started in an area that was closer to the Quail Ridge Blvd turn off but we couldn't finish.
But stay tuned ... we are hoping to have a second event sometime in September to clean up the 2 areas marked in "red". Come out, meet your neighbours, limb up some conifers and then eat pizza - fun!
