It's May—that means it's time for our annual Diamond Valley Project Green Day! This is the day when green-minded volunteers from Black Diamond, Turner Valley and the MD of Foothills come out, spruce up, help conserve the green areas of our communities.

“It's a great family event to kick off summer,” says John Stoll, chairman of the Town of Black Diamond Parks and Recreation Committee. “Our plans for this green morning include a river cleanup, green spaces cleanup, pocket garden weeding, Friendship Trail and highway cleanup, and planting trees in a park,” he adds.

According to Monique LeBlanc, manager of community services for the Town of Turner Valley, “Project Green Day is in line with our two communities' proud stewardship of the environment and we're delighted to be a part of such a great event.”

To speed up the registration process, we now have online registration at the towns' websites www.town.blackdiamond.ab.ca or: www.turnervalley.ca, plus in-person registration starting at 8:30am will be available, too.

What's in it for you? Project Green Day volunteers go first class all the way, from receiving feel-good work assignments, eco-friendly door prizes and an opportunity to check out energy- and water-saving displays, to being served morning tea and coffee and a fabulous BBQ lunch by the friendly folk of the Foothills Lions Club.

As this event grows bigger each year, several sponsors, including the Town of Black Diamond , the Town of Turner Valley, AG Foods-Country Food Mart, Hortscape, Foothills Lions Club, Volker Stevin and Diamond Valley Disposal have stepped up to show their support.

Please come out on May 14th morning, from 9:00am to noon, to show your support, too.
