June's work party is very special.
Copley Community Orchard and the Running Free Wildflower Garden Society, with Elder Valerie Nicholson of Mi’kmaq, Haida, and Roma descent, are coming together at the Every Child Matters Garden to honour the children who never came home this month.
We will start the ceremony at 10:30AM It will include planting more seeds and plants in the garden and writing messages on orange rocks.

There will be other tasks to complete to keep the orchard running, such as thinning fruit, weeding, and mowing.
Community Potluck
Bring your favourite dishes, cutlery, and drinks to share with fellow nature enthusiasts. It's a great way to strengthen our sense of community and enjoy a tasty meal together.
Spread the word, invite your friends, and let's foster a deeper appreciation for our environment while having a fantastic time together.
See you at the Orchard on Saturday, June 14th!

🌳Remember to Support the Orchard!
As you may know, Copley Community Orchard relies on donations to sustain its operations since it is not a City of Vancouver park. The orchard's funding comes from grants and contributions, making your support invaluable. If you are able to contribute, online donations are preferred, but we also accept cash for your convenience. The suggested donation for the season is $20.00 to $50.00 or $5.00 per event.
