Union Gas Helps GVTA Again

October 28, 2007 - Thanks to a generous grant from Union Gas GVTA was able to buy pressure treated wood to build two new long boardwalks on private land north of Bridge Street (Map 11) in a wet area near a creek. In addition, several Union Gas employees volunteered their time and labour to construct the boardwalks. Pictured here are the Union Gas volunteers and some of the GVTA volunteers that made this happen. For a few more pictures of this task please visit the GVTA Flickr account. Note: At this website you may view the 10 pictures by clicking the thumbnails and this process provides titles and captions AND/OR you may view them by using the "View as slideshow" link (upper right of web page.
