Volunteer Day at Stream of Dreams in Burnaby Sept 14
This event is located at our office near Burnaby Lake at 6825 Cariboo Road, Burnaby, BC and will run on September 14 from 10 am - 2 pm. Stream of Dreams Murals Society is a Canadian charity that delivers our award-winning 'Fish on Fences' program to educate elementary school children about protecting our streams through a unique science to art process. We are asking for help to prepare supplies for upcoming 2024 school programs. This will include: - Cutting and bending wire ties that are used for attaching our wood fish to fences; - Cutting up towels for brush blotting; - Possibly pulling out some plants at our summer garden plot for overwintering; and - Putting iron-on transfers on reflective vests for our Street to Sea program. There will be other small tasks to help us get ready for our busy fall season as well. No experience is necessary - just bring your enthusiasm! We'll provide all the materials and guidance needed. If you happen to have any old towels that can be cut up we would welcome you to bring them as well. We will have snacks and drinks for everyone. Our driveway is somewhat hidden - look for the orange cones on either side of our chain link fence along Cariboo Road. If taking transit, we are about a 10 minute walk from the Skytrain at Production Way/ University or right next to a bus stop for the 101. Just come in the big front door when you arrive. We look forward to seeing you!
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
This is a great opportunity for youth or adults needing volunteer hours or for anyone wanting to assist with a program that educates and protects our precious streams and rivers.
