NFFTT receives an Environmental Award of Excellence
May 4th, 2009 by Laura Reinsborough
Many Not Far From The Tree supporters came out to celebrate at the Green Toronto Awards ceremony last week. Although we didn’t win the Green Toronto Award itself, we were awarded an Environmental Award of Excellence. It was an honour to be selected as a finalist, especially after only our first year.
We are friends of a feather with the other two finalists in our category, so it was guaranteed to be a great night. Roscoe Handford, the Green Toronto Award winner, helped start Not Far From The Tree by connecting me with the orchard at Spadina Museum. And Greenest City, fellow Enviromental Award of Excellence recipient, is the agency that will be hosting our fruit-picking hub in Parkdale this summer.
Much thanks to the City of Toronto (especially the Toronto Environment Office) for celebrating environmental efforts in this way.
Today… The Environmental Award of Excellence…
Tomorrow… The Green Toronto Award!
