Slow it, spread it, sink it

We wanted to share this great video by the US Environmental Protection Agency that shows a number of ways to reduce stormwater runoff including rain gardens, rain barrels and green roofs. Many of these best practices can be used at your home. The goal of these tools is to 'slow, spread and sink' the stormwater to keep it from polluting downstream waters.

We built a rain garden!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our rain garden community build at the George Dixon Community Centre last week. Check out the short video below to see how it went!
