Save Our Seine

Beautiful fall day along the Seine!

Join Save Our Seine this Saturday & Sunday (starting 10:00AM both days) at Marlene St Park to plant 1000 trees in partnership with @MBMetis_MMF 🌳🌲🌎💚💙

We were also grateful to receive this framed commemorative letter of congratulations. In attendance from SOS today were Ryan Palmquist, Anita Moyse, Laurie Ringaert, and Lindsay Kane.

Save Our Seine thanks MLA Rob Loiselle (St. Boniface) for your invitation to the Legislature this afternoon. We were honoured to be recognized marking the 30th anniversary of the SOS Summer Team which begins at the end of this month.

Pleased as well to see a strong turnout by our Seine River urban watershed MLAs like @jmoses6 , Rob Loiselle, @MikeMoyes4Riel , @Cross4Seine , @TBlashko , and many others from the "climate caucus". Happy Earth Day!

We at SOS are very encouraged by this direction and look forward to partnering with & supporting government and our peer environmental groups on this critical objective.

On Earth Day, Save Our Seine’s Jeremy Mumford (VP) & @Palmquist88 (MD) were pleased to join other southeast community environmental orgs like Friends of @BishopGrandin Greenway, invited by Environment Minister @Tracy4Rossmere to the Legislature.

The urban watershed has just as much and in some cases more impact on the condition of the river than what takes place on its banks. Thank you to The @wpgfdn for their generous grant to support this pilot. More details coming soon!

This project represents the first in a series of new initiatives being planned which expand the scope of Save Our Seine’s stewardship into the broader urban watershed outside of the immediate river corridor.
