RCOM Peace and Environment Committee Plant Trees with CVC

Community Projects Community Projects 2025
A great day to plant trees!  
 
Rotary Club of Mississauga and others participated in the Credit Vally Conservation tree planting event on Saturday, October 4th.  Rotarian Shahid was there " I was deeply impressed with the volunteers’ spirit especially as displayed by some very young people who came with their parents/guardians.  Rotary was recognized for its contribution and participation."
