Tomato Festival – this week!
Tomato Festival Is Here!
Summer came early this year and brought us a wonderful bounty of juicy tomatoes. To celebrate the delightful fruits, we’ll have recipes, a tomato display, tomato samples and kids activities. Spread the word by sharing our Facebook event page and #tomatofest on Twitter and Instagram. If you can’t make it this Saturday at Trout Lake, Kitsilano will also be celebrating on Sunday from 10am-2pm. Check out their Facebook event page HERE.

Food Scraps Drop Spot is Wrapping Up August 30th
With the recent Metro Vancouver Organics Ban, the Drop Spots are seeing fewer drops – which is a good thing! More buildings have implemented food scraps collections, allowing residents to dispose of their food waste at home. If your building doesn’t have organics collections just yet, contact our program partner Recycling Alternative (604-874-7283) or the City of Vancouver (3-1-1) for recycling collection options. The last day for the Drop Spot at Trout Lake is on Saturday, August 29th. In the meantime, our West End Market will be accepting drop offs until further notice.
See you at the market!
