Tree Planting Along Mimico Creek

Great big thanks to Horseplayer Interactive's Michael Eves, Glen Vales and Gurmeet Kajala who joined a spirited group of volunteers from the Partners in Project Green, at a tree planting event today.

Volunteers planted over 750 trees in the North Mimico Valley Park located at the corner of Disco Road and Carlingview Drive (directly across from Lovat).

The addition of these trees and shrubs is part of the Mimico Creek watershed restoration project lead by Chris Ricketts and his team from Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.

Thanks again Michael, Glen and Gurmeet for coming out today, representing Woodbine Entertainment Group and demonstrating your support of WEG's commitment to the Partners in Project Green.
