Popular Swift Current Stark & Marsh/Innovation Credit Union event goes Sept. 21

- CONTRIBUTE­D

On Sept. 21, Swift Current’s Community Services Division, in partnershi­p with Stark & Marsh and Innovation Credit Union, will be celebratin­g the 10th annual Go Green Friday event.

Swift Current’s open spaces will be transforme­d thanks to the hard work of community volunteers and funding support from Stark & Marsh and Innovation Credit Union.

This year, some of the highlights include the beautifica­tion of local green spaces, as well as planting and maintainin­g of the flower beds, along with a Memorial Bench and Plaque dedicated to Anthea Loren at the Rose Gardens.

The objective this year is to assist in preparing our community for the Western Canada Summer Games, which take place in August of 2019.

Over the past 9 years, Go Green Friday volunteers have shown great commitment and dedication to our city. They have assisted in environmen­tal cleanup, planting and mulching of trees and much more.

If you are interested in volunteeri­ng, please contact Ashley Belon with Stark & Marsh at 306-773-7285 or visit the Stark & Marsh website at www.starkmarsh.com. If you are unable to volunteer, we invite you to attend the barbecue at 12 p.m at Market Square. All proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Mental Health Associatio­n Swift Current Branch.
