    From 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. there will be tree planting at the Griffin Drive Parking Lot, Broadway (Green space across from upper Sobeys entrance), and the Centre for Research and Innovation.

    This is National Tree Planting Day. Corner Brook Mayor Jim Parsons says the forest is a big reason why we are here due to Corner Brook Pulp and Paper. The City of Corner Brook is celebrating with tree planting activities in three separate locations. From 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. there will be tree planting at the Griffin Drive Parking Lot, Broadway (Green space across from upper Sobeys entrance), and the Centre for Research and Innovation. Then, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Sustainable Development Coordinator, Kirstin Mercer, will present at the Centre for Research and Innovation on the second floor. Parsons says she will talk about how Corner Brook is participating in the Canada-wide “2-Billion Trees”project, how it relates to tackling climate change and fixing biodiversity loss in our forests. These events are free to the public and open to all ages. This year’s event marks the 13th year of the initiative.
