Volunteer Day at Stream of Dreams in Burnaby February 1

6825 Cariboo Road, Burnaby, BC, V3N 4A3 [map]
2-5 hours
This event is located at our office near Burnaby Lake at 6825 Cariboo Road, Burnaby, BC and will run on February 1 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; 
- Pulling out some plants at our summer garden plot for overwintering; and
- Put together garden boxes from kits and fill them with soil.

There will be other small tasks to help us get ready for our busy spring season as well. No experience is necessary - just bring your enthusiasm! If you would like to help us with our gardens, we suggest wearing clothes appropriate for the weather that can get dirty and bring a shovel if you have a spare one. 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.
