PS. The soil is heavy clay at the planting site and we will need to dig many large holes. If you are strong and have a ton of energy, consider joining the prep-ops team to start digging some holes on Friday 16 Oct afternoon. Contact Erica [email protected] if you are game for that.

💡Do you know that Ottawa produces just 6% of its own electricity locally and the remaining 94% is imported? Local electricity generation means fewer disruptions and fewer power outages!
