Coasters are encouraged to come out on Sunday, Oct. 14, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. for a volunteer community clean-up and planting at the maze garden in Shirley Macey Park. Look for details on the SCRD website at www.scrd.ca. Bring a shovel, clippers, edging tools and a wheelbarrow if you have one. If enough people attend, a lot can be accomplished to make the park garden beautiful, educational and functional again.

Lunch will be served for volunteers between noon and 1 p.m. Please bring your own bowl, plate and utensils.

This is a plea to the community. Is there anyone out there with a passion for keeping the maze garden intact? Can you do it all? Can you do some of it? Can you come out once or twice per year? Can you organize future volunteer efforts? Please contact the SCRD Parks Department if you feel this may be your calling.

Please come on the 14th to help make the work light and merry and to celebrate the best of community.
