St. Catharines Lakeshore News

The Rotary Club of St. Catharines Lakeshore's Charles Ansell Park Committee was pleased to announce a few enhancements to the park, located at Lock One in St. Catharines along the Welland Canal, created in conjunction with the City of St. Catharines Parks and Recreation Department and the Vimy Oaks Legacy Corporation.

 

The Club has purchased 300 of these unique bulbs from rotary tulip from Veseys Seeds of PEI. Vesey’s contributes 20% of the purchase price to the Rotary Foundation and Our Parks and Recreation Department has now planted them in the park. A great display in the spring! Go to https://www.veseys.com/ca/rotary-polio-tulip-76289.html for the full story on these bulbs.

 

 

The Vimy Oaks Legacy Corporation has been planting these oaks across Canada, including Victoria Lawn Cemetery and the front lawn of the St. Catharines City Hall. Oak, protective fencing and interpretive signage (which contains the history of this effort) were all provided at no cost to the Club.
