the community planting event organized by City of Burlington. There was about 300 different varieties trees planted by our seniors and the local residents.
Everyone was enjoying the beautiful weather, fresh air, and the great feeling of achievements!
Because the partners of the partners are different, everyone jokingly said: We are planting "husband and wife tree", "friendship tree", "brother's tree" and "sister tree". Song Ruzhu and Shao Lianyi and his wife planted 7 young saplings in one go. They lovingly touched the trees like their own children. Wang Xiang and Zhang Nianwen came back to visit relatives in Canada and also came to participate in tree planting. People have forgotten about the year, forgetting about fatigue, and working so hard and doing well. Everyone is a tree planter. Together with the local residents, they quickly completed the task of planting nearly 300 trees.
The elders of the Recreation Home who participated in this activity each received a red baseball cap with the "Recreation Home" logo, which was particularly eye-catching among the green grass. Everyone looked back at the newly planted tree and nodded to people frequently, feeling very satisfied and joyful.
After planting the trees, everyone still greeted each other warmly, and was hesitant to leave. In the end, a group photo was taken, and the smiling faces were filled with joy and pride. The person in charge of the Burlington municipality is very grateful to the parents of the Hongye Cultural Association for their dedication to actively participate in the construction of the community. Planting trees and afforestation is a career that looks forward to benefiting future generations. You plant a tree, I plant a tree, and everyone will plant the tree.
Today, the small saplings we planted by ourselves will grow into towering trees, prop up large green shades, and protect our children and grandchildren. I hope Canada, our second hometown, will become even more beautiful.
