Through the New Horizons for Seniors Program from the federal government, the Municipality of Markstay-Warren has received $12,500 to establish community gardens throughout the community! Led by seniors, this project will encourage senior participation and engage them to become active and be part of social programs.

Goals:

• Establish 3-4 community gardens throughout the community.
• Build relationships.
• Promote volunteerism.
• Engage seniors and youth through mentoring.
• Build positive relationships with other age groups in the community.
• Transfer of knowledge as seniors have a wealth of information relating to gardening.
• Our seniors will engage our  Youth with the intent of not only knowledge transfer but also relationship building.

To become part of the project please send your full contact information to info@markstay-warren.ca or call the municipal office at 705-853-4536 x 200.
