Watch as Diana Kirsh and Doug Wortley round up hundreds of pounds of trash in Bowen Park in under 90 minutes! If two people can do this much work, imagine if we all contributed to cleaning up Vancouver Island!

BACK TO BASICS!

The Doumont Restoration Project has been mostly focused on Cappy Yates Park, but that doesn't mean that we are done dealing with garbage!

Check out this major victory against trash in the Old City Quarter. A clean urban space creates a more vibrant community, so let's get out there and make our city beautiful! :D

A Bright and Happy Place :)

It was the second time that the Doumont Restoration Project was at Vancouver Island University to promote sustainability, and it will not be the last!

It was great to see so many organizations on campus that support the preservation of our environment. Big thanks to Margot Croft for organizing the event!

Trail Tracking and Rubbish Removal! :D
(Because alliteration is awesome)

It was the last day of trail mapping on behalf of the District of Lantzville and the Lantzville Foothills. Another 4 large bags of garbage were removed from a great network of trails outside of Seaview Elementary.

Big thanks to some lovely ladies at the Lantzville Legion, and a nice local hiker for taking two of the photos!

More work will still be taking place in Lantzville so stay tuned!

We are pleased to showcase the first artwork in Cappy Yates Park!

G.E.M. Fabrications generously gave a discount on these fun outdoor art pieces that have been put up around the park. They have a fantastic outdoor art gallery across the street! https://www.facebook.com/GemFabrications.GalleryRow

Big thanks to Medina Mayes from the Wee Cupcakery for helping with installation. There are lots of great local businesses in the area that want to see the property become something special. https://www.facebook.com/AWeeCupcakery?fref=ts
