Got Leaves?
Thursday, September 30th, 2010
The City of Winnipeg is opening its annual “Leaf It With Us” depots beginning Friday at several locations throughout the city.
Dropped off leaves and yard waste will be recycled into a soil-like material to be used in landscaping finished landfill areas.
The depots will be open seven days a week from October 1 to November 15, weather permitting.
The depots accept bagged leaves, lawn thatch, grass clippings, plants, flowers and other garden material. Tree clippings, small branches (no more than 100 millimetres in diameter) must be bundled and tied.

I LOVE this show! Cesar Millan has helped me become a much better dog owner thanks to watching his show for the past few years. He’s going on a cross country tour, but he’s NOT coming to Winnipeg! The gang at Urban Canine Doggy Daycare hope we can change that by starting a Facebook page. Please join the cause and show Cesar that we’re pack leaders and dog lovers!

How cute?? Meet Robyn, one of two baby Red Pandas born at The Assiniboine Park Zoo this past June. Unfortunately, the Red Pandas are not on display to the public due to exhibit renovations and the two recent newborns will be placed in other zoos as soon as they are weaned. So get a good look!
