Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Spring Clean-Up and Tree Planting Demo!

A special thank you to Green Drop for their excellent planting and pruning demonstration, answering everyone's questions, and generously planting two American Linden trees at the school.

We also appreciate all the volunteers who helped with the community clean-up. Your efforts made the day a great success and helped make our community even better! 💚🌿

Considering planting a tree or shrub this spring? If so, Trees Winnipeg's ReLeaf program has some really cheap options to buy. They start taking orders tomorrow and they tend to sell out quickly.

PS: Haskaps - available in the sale - are AMAZINGLY delicious fruiting plants and y'all should consider adding them to your gardens/landscaping.

It's almost time for our Spring ReLeaf Sale! Trees go on sale Thursday morning at 10 am at ReLeaf.tw The pickup is Saturday, May 30 from 10 am to 2 pm at Bronx Park Community Centre, 755 Henderson Highway. (Note the update in pickup location since our last notice.)

The students at Isaac Brock School helped bring extra heart to the trees planted by the community last year by creating beautiful signs to line the tree fencing 🌳💚

Their messages remind everyone to protect and care for the young trees, and each piece of art adds a little joy to the space.

One of our favorites features the Lorax standing watch over the trees — a perfect guardian for growing urban forest. 💛

Make sure you go check them out next time you're strolling through the neighborhood!

✨ Thank You for Celebrating With Us! ✨

Today’s launch of the Community Safety Toolbox was truly special — and it wouldn’t have been the same without you. Your presence added so much warmth, energy, and meaning to this milestone moment for South Valour.

Thank you to everyone who came out this afternoon, shared talks and stories, connected with neighbours, and raised a glass to four years of community care. Every conversation, every smile, and every moment of support reminded us why this work matters and why our neighbourhood is so strong.

We’re incredibly grateful to all the volunteers, partners, neighbours, and friends who shaped the Toolbox over these past four years. Your ideas, your time, your lived experience, and your commitment to a safer and more inclusive community built the foundation for this resource. Today’s celebration was a reflection of all that collective effort.

A huge thank-you as well to Barn Hammer Brewing for hosting us so warmly.
Here’s to the work we’ve done — and all the work we’ll continue to do, together, with care, courage, and connection. 💛
