On May 27, 2018, Youth in Action and SEAP Programs hosted the Tree for Me
event at CultureLink Children & Youth Centre. Tree for Me is a
community-powered backyard tree planting program where Toronto residents and
non-profit organizations were able to receive free native trees in order to
improve the tree canopy in Toronto for future generations. This event was in
support of the Every Tree Counts campaign in partnership with Toronto Parks and
Trees Foundation. This connection was
made possible by the Bike Host program.
There were 7 volunteers from SEAP and Youth in Action who
worked hard to make this event possible with community outreach and facilitating workshops. On
the day of the event there were 75 trees given away and Councillor Sarah
Doucette was able to come visit and support the youth in our community.
Thank you to Councillor Doucette for coming out and showing support for our environmental event, and to our student placement Denise for all her hard work.
The biggest thank you to our amazing youth volunteers (especially Yahya, Zak, Muad, Amaar, Charlie, Layal and Mahnoor) for their help outreaching and facilitating and for their enthusiasm in building a brighter future!
