Spring in Canada is long overdue, and the weather changed suddenly last week, with freezing rain and snow. The temperature rebounded this week, the sun was shining, and the spring breeze was warm. Good weather, good mood! At noon on April 21, 18 members of the RCI Seniors program participated in the tree planting activity jointly organized by the City of Burlington and the Burlington Green Organization. ,
In this good season when the spring breeze is warming and everything is flourishing, we came to Tuck Park to plant trees. Green tents, green posters, green slogans, and green medals are full of vitality and vitality. People from all walks of life, men and women, old and young, people of different skin colors and different languages gather here to plant trees and protect the green hand in hand. Here, the green grass and the wind are soothing, and here, small trees line up for you and me to plant! A group of Chinese people wearing the Little Red Riding Hood of Recreation House are particularly eye-catching.
At the beginning of the event, Ontario Councilor Eleanor McMahon gave a speech. She thanked the green organization for a series of environmental protection activities, and also thanked everyone who came to participate and actively contribute to the community. The organizer also interviewed Zhang Lei, the head of the RCI. Everyone rushed to take a group photo.
At the beginning of tree planting, professionals explained the requirements for digging pits, planting seedlings, filling soil, applying fertilizer, watering, and cultivating sawdust, and made on-site demonstrations. People can't wait to enter the site and start planting trees. I saw: men and women match, work is not tired. Husband and wife plant trees and have a close heart. Friends join hands to sow friendship. Mother and son plant trees, pinning hope. It's a good time for you to chase after me, a lively and moving labor scene. A man planted a tree and tied an orange logo. There is a family who, after finishing a tree of each type, surrounded the young saplings and took a group photo. There was a mother who came to plant a tree with a baby in her arms, bent over and shoveled the soil, unwilling to be left behind. A few little girls, holding a flowerpot full of sawdust, hopped across the green ground, flying up and down like beautiful colorful butterflies. Songs and laughter floated far away, Baiyun leisurely people were intoxicated. An hour and a half passed, and more than two hundred saplings were firmly rooted in the fertile soil. Looking at the gratifying results of labor, people forget fatigue and feel deeply satisfied and happy.
The event is coming to an end, and the organizer has prepared snacks and drinks to comfort everyone. The lucky draw brought surprises and continued cheers. Happy people took a group photo on the green space, leaving beautiful shadows. Freeze this unforgettable moment. "When trees are green, the earth has a pulse." Love green planting, because of the greenness in the heart; planting trees and planting virtues will benefit future generations. Only with trees can there be refreshing and fresh air, and with trees can there be a harmonious and beautiful living environment. Burlington is one of the most livable cities in Canada. May the trees here be more lush and dense, the air here more fresh and nourishing, and the mountains and rivers beautiful and the environment more beautiful and pleasant.
All members of the RCI Seniors program, who participated in the tree planting today, not only contributed to the Burlington community, but also shared a good time of mutual interaction, unity and friendship under the bright sun, blue sky and white clouds.
