Wellington Village Plant Swap Weekend is underway!

This weekend, please join in our spring event, the Plant Swap Weekend.

To participate is easy! If you’re thinning out your plants this weekend, simply place near the sidewalk indicating they are free to a good home (feel free to share on WVCA Facebook page with the hashtag #wvplants and share in the comments of our Plant Swap Weekend posts). If you can label and indicate sun/shade tolerant even better! The photo attached is an example.

If you are looking for something in particular - comment on the link above! Maybe a neighbour has some extra to spare.

Please help us spread this like an aggressive weed - share this post with a neighbour so we can all add a bit of community cheer to our gardens.

(**and since the stay at home order remains in place, please be covid-wise, and perhaps incorporate picking them up with your daily outdoor exercise outing)

Happy long weekend!!

WVCA Board Meeting - Monday 10 May at 7:30 p.m.

The WVCA board meets on Monday evening, May 10th, at 7:30 p.m. for our monthly board meeting. Our focus topic continues to be Tunney's Pasture development plans, and next steps following the close of our survey.

Members of the community are always welcome to attend. At present we continue to meet virtually. The link to Monday's meeting is: https://meet.google.com/izd-kzdq-ian

Previous meeting minutes can be found in the "Meetings" tab of our website.

Wellington Village is a vibrant Ottawa neighbourhood bounded by Island Park Drive to the west, Scott Street to the north, Holland Avenue to the east and the Queensway to the south. Tree lined streets, red brick facades, great schools, and a main street of independent businesses, food shops and artisans have helped turn this area into one of Ottawa’s most enjoyable communities. Most amenities are within walking distance, with plenty of green spaces for all residents to enjoy and easy access to the Ottawa River. The new LRT station at Tunney’s Pasture connects Wellington Village to the downtown and beyond in minutes.

Upcoming WVCA Meetings:

The next WVCA board meeting is Thursday September 26th, from 7:30-9:00 p.m.

The following meetings are tentatively scheduled for Thursday October 17th and Thursday November 21st.

Usually the WVCA meets the third Thursday of each month at Fisher park School from 7:30-9:00 p.m.
