Ecology Ottawa is a partner with the Glashan Public School Green Team.
Angela Keller-Herzog gives us an update on the work so far....
We now have an enthusiastic Green Team composed of school, parent and community volunteers supporting this initiative. We’re looking for more help and talent – join us to make this happen!
In connection with a funding application the Green Team submitted to the City of Ottawa Better Neighbourhoods Program (cross your fingers please!), the project has also received endorsement from City Councillors David Chernushenko, Diane Holmes and Mathieu Fleury (whose wards cover the Glashan catchment), as well as our schoolboard trustee and chair of the OCDSB Jennifer McKenzie.
surge of support from local community businesses who have generously
contributed to the start-up fund for the greening project – to allow us to do the planning & feasibility work.
