Help beautify Oak Bay
The Friends of Brighton Avenue Walkway in Oak Bay are attempting to rid the walkway of invasive ivy.
Bring gloves, secateurs and loppers if you have them, and meet on the walkway between St. David Street and Transit Avenue on the second and fourth Sundays of the month from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
The ivy pull is a healthy outdoor volunteer opportunity to beautify the community.
