| Fundraisers | Our members and community came together to support our initiatives through various fundraising events. In February, Jennifer Harvey showcased her outstanding floral designs. These bouquets raised $880 the Society. May marked the return of our annual plant sale, introducing a refreshing change of scenery by holding it at a new location — Swift Waters Elementary School. Despite the initial weather challenges and the added cost of a venue rental, the sale raised $2,373.50 for the Society. Our November AGM featured a silent auction and contributed $1,582.00 to our fundraising efforts.. In the summer, w participated in the OHA bulb fundraiser, featuring the BIODIVERSITY Bulb Mixture Package. | ||||||||
