Canada 150th Groves Project

Last year, city staff started working with councillors on the Canada 150 Groves project. As part of Canada's sesquicentennial, the project is meant to leave a lasting legacy by planting a grove of 150 native Canadian maple trees in each of the 23 wards.

We can now officially say Kitchissippi's grove will be located at 170 Island Park Drive, or the northwest corner of Island Park and the Sir John A Macdonald Parkway.

All we know now is that planting will occur either in the spring or fall, but more details will come and as they do, we will pass them on.
