Ivan and Ila’s No Frills Store in Westage Plaza went above and beyond helping out on Saturday September 19 with the George Genereux Urban Regional Park Clean up. They did indeed help to make the day a success with a generous contribution. Support such is this by Ivan and Ila’s No Frills Store in Westage Plaza is vital, and so much appreciated by the volunteers who all came out that day, and also by the public users of this urban regional park who have noticed and commented on the outstanding difference that the clean up has made. Parents with small children, bird banders, foresters, dog walkers, and citizen scientists all meet out at George Genereux Urban Regional Park and appreciate that over 9,270Kg or 9.27 tons or 10.2 US tons or 204,367 pounds have been removed from the forest. This has created a much safer environment for the general public and for the health of the environment. Is that not what World Environmental Health day is all about? Know that so many people appreciate the kindness and generosity of Ivan and Ila and Ivan and Ila’s No Frills Store in Westage Plaza which is located at 2410 22nd St W at the corner of Avenue W North and 22nd St W. The clean up on Sat. Sept 19 ushered in National Forest week, and what an amazing way to care for forests than to protect the environment. And Ivan and Ila helped to act locally and think globally on World Clean up Day which also was Sat. Sept 19. Isn’t it ever so wonderful to have safe urban regional parks?

“I can no other answer make but thanks, and thanks, and ever thanks.” – William Shakespeare
“This generation may either be the last to survive in any semblance of a civilized world, or it will be the first to have the vision, the daring, and the greatness to say, “I will have nothing to do with this destruction of life; I will play no part in this devastation of the land, skinning it alive by removing virgin tree cover; I am destined to live and work for peaceful construction, for I am morally responsible for the world of to-day and to the generations of to-morow.”
“TWAHAMWE” is our motto. ‘Let us pull together’, and let us give our active support to all efforts of desert reclamation by tree-planting.” from the Richard St. Barbe Baker’s Condensed Sketch of Richard St. Barbe Baker’s Life in the University of Saskatchewan, University Archives & Special Collections, Richard St. Barbe Baker fonds, MG 71
“Whenever you are to do a thing, though it can never be known but to yourself, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you, and act accordingly.” —Thomas Jefferson
