Diamond Valley Project Green Day

The Towns of Black Diamond and Turner Valley are asking volunteers to come out and help with Project Green Day on Saturday, May 14th morning from 9 to noon. Both communities will be spruced up for summer thanks to this annual event.

“We'll be planting trees to develop a park, cleaning up the highway along the Friendship Trail, weeding pocket gardens, and as long as the river isn't too high, we'll be cleaning up the Sheep River valley in and between our two towns, too,” says John Stoll, Chairman of the Black Diamond Parks and Recreation Committee. 
Turner Valley Mayor Kelly Tuck added, “Project Green Day is a great event that allows community members from Black Diamond, Turner Valley and the M.D. of Foothills to be active in helping to keep our environment clean.  Together, we are making a difference – thank you to all those who helped in the past.  We hope as many and more will join us this year”.

Volunteers from both communities are asked to register at the Scott Seaman Sports Rink in Black Diamond starting at 8:30 a.m. for their work assignments. A volunteer appreciation BBQ will be served around noon by the Lions, after all the work is done.

Eco-friendly door prizes and displays will also be a part of the morning's activities. Sponsors of this event include the Town of Turner Valley, the Town of Black Diamond, Volker Stevin, Foothills Lions Club, Diamond Valley Disposal and Hortscape.
