tree giveaway - this sunday!FirstU has teamed up with Ecology Ottawa to host a Tree Giveaway!
Join us this Sunday, September 26, at 1pm in our parking lot at 30 Cleary. You can pick up a tree for your property - pre-registration required - AND take a tour of the Ajashki Heart Garden, courtesy of Kayoki, Ajashki's Food & Climate Educator, and Rhe, the garden's Future Food Warrior. Care instructions for the trees will be provided, and Ecology Ottawa will do a Care Follow-Up with everyone who receives a tree. Click here to take the pre-participation survey and get registered! |
Instead of our Fall Fair, FirstU is opting to host a smaller, outdoor sale where you can pick up new-to-you puzzles and books to cozy up with this winter.
Join us on Saturday, October 23, for the FirstU Book and Puzzle Sale. We will update you on future plans as they develop.
