We had a wonderful planting day at the pollinator garden yesterday! Sending out a grateful, heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this happen!!

@fitzgeraldneighbours - Gratitude for the endless support and enthusiasm for this project from the start!

@npca_ontario - Huge thanks to Kerry Royer for your guidance and support from the very beginning and for all your hard work on planting day! Thank you to the Mickey DiFruscio and Family Legacy Pollinator Project for providing the plants.

@cityofstcatharines - Thanks to @nortonilyse and the Community, Recreation and Culture Services staff for your support, and to the Municipal Works team for their great work preparing the garden.

@lglearning - A huge thank you for partnering with us to provide the insurance.

@dellatroj - Thank you for answering so many questions along the way, and sharing your pollinator garden expertise with us!

This would not have happened without our amazing volunteers who spent yesterday working in the sun! Huge thanks to Diane Archer @compassionatebodypilates and her son August, Rick, Mary @mary.rao, Kathryn @soundofprisms, Serena @serenamoonxo, Tara, and Patricia Kraft.

Thanks again everyone, and we can't wait to watch the garden grow into a welcoming habitat for our wild neighbours!

Hey Fitz neighbours! We have made the tough decisi

Hey Fitz neighbours! We have made the tough decision to postpone the Great Fitz Garage Sale, scheduled for June 5th. We anticipate that the stay-at-home orders will be lifted by then, however we will not be in Stage 1 of Ontario’s re-opening plan and therefore even groups of 10 will be prohibited. As a public organization, we don't feel comfortable promoting an "event" that will attract a lot of people to the neighbourhood while our movements are still restricted.

We still intend to have the Great Fitz Garage Sale this year, however it will be later in the summer when we have more certainty that our community and neighbours will remain safe.

We’ll keep you posted on social media and if you want direct updates about the garage sale sent to your inbox, throw your email into our DM’s and we’ll add you to our Garage Salers list.

Stay tuned! #communitygaragesale #neighbourhoodgaragesale #greatfitzgaragesale #ourhomestc
