Fighting Climate Change and Honouring Heroes (continued from page 22)
planting of five trees by health workers at the front of the Wellspring Cancer Support Foundation building, which was followed by a volunteer tree planting on the nearby McLean Estate. These planting efforts mark the evolution of a long- standing collaboration between Trees for Life and Sunnybrook that will see up to 600 new trees planted on the health facility’s grounds as part of this project. Trees for Life also helped to create a memorial to people who lost their lives to the COVID-19 virus at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa. We all believe in the value of trees to improve our lives and that of the planet, let’s work together to get more trees in the ground, faster. Now, we need your help! We need the help of communities across Ontario to help us grow this initiative. Perhaps your land use plans call for more trees, you have access to land or you’d simply like to honour the health workers or another special group in your
community with a living tribute?
